 Hi everyone. Thank you for joining us for the post-event wrap-up webinar. We're going to get started in a minute. I know a lot of you more people continue to join. If you can let me know in the chat what organization you're with today and we'll get started shortly. Wonderful. Thanks everyone. So we're going to get started. So thank you for joining us for the post-event wrap-up webinar for this year's Give 828. We're very excited that you all got through this event. It was really fun. It was a multi-day event this year. So we have a bunch of stuff to cover today on the agenda. Just kind of getting through like post-event wrap-up. We'll talk about how to access your donor reports, disbursement reports, all that good stuff. Just for your information we are recording this webinar and I will add it to the Give 828 toolkit so you can look back at it and also the slides as well. We are, I don't know if I said my name is Sarah and I am a project manager with Mighty Cause and Give 828. We also have, I believe, Neema joining us today. So I am going to pass it over to Neema so she can say hello to you all and then I'll pass it over. Neema from the Young Back and Giving Back Institute. I'm a program consultant and I've been working with Give 828 Campaign now for three years. Super excited about the results this year. We just, we're blown away with just everybody's engagement, the participation and how much we're able to raise. So excited to be here and to hear everyone's feedback. Wonderful. So a quick look at our agenda. We're going to review ideas on how to follow up with your donor's post-giving event. We'll talk about how you can find and use your donor reports. We'll discuss the disbursements for prizes. We're also going to share how you can continue getting the most out of the Give 828 platform even outside of the event dates. What's available to you in your organization page. And then of course if you have any questions you can feel free to just type them into our Q&A button on your screen. So we will get started. All right. So with Give 828 complete it's time to really start to consider your follow-up post event if you have not even started already. You're going to want to definitely go beyond the platform tools and the automated thank yous that we send out on the donation page after a donor completes their donation. So if you haven't already you'll want to plan the thank yous. Anything like personal such as making a video or sharing a photo of your staff can really go a long way with making your thank you a bit more personal. And then when thinking donors and continuing your communication with donors you'll also want to make sure you talk about the impact of the funds that you raised from this year's event and really help kind of close the loop on the campaign. So basically that means say you are fundraising for something specific. You'll want to kind of address that with your donors. Let them know where you stand. Did you meet your goals? Did they help you come really close to making your goals and you're super excited? And just really kind of helping connect with them so that they want to continue being a part of your organization. Continue helping you grow and achieve your mission. If you have new donors who gave during the event you'll also want to make sure that you have an onboarding plan in place for your new donors so that they can continue to come back to donate again. So a lot of this comes back to really making a kind of a personal connection with your donors, making them feel seen and helping them feel like they can continue to contribute and help you achieve the goals that you set. You could consider mailing them a welcome packet as a fun way to kind of get them onboarded. Maybe you have some volunteers who can help kind of create like thank you cards. You can send those out. Postcard snail mail is really fun for people to receive. You can also create an automated email journey. So depending on which kind of email service you use, you can set up a journey where you can add emails and kind of get them onboarded. Maybe you get a welcome email and then in another month you give like how you can continue to support our organization just so you continue to stay on the radar of these donors. Thinking and appreciating your donors is definitely essential to donor retention. In the long run it's going to cost less for you to retain your existing donors, the donors that you've acquired. Then I mean you all know how hard it is to kind of continue to try to grow your donor base. A lot of work and effort goes into them. So by spending time, money, effort just really trying to thank and appreciate each donor that you have is going to be well spent. So donors of course that feel appreciated and valued on an ongoing basis not just once a year when they donate are likely to stick with your organization even longer and just provide you support for years to come. You'll also want to take some time now that the event has ended and meet with your team, meet with your board, really assess this year's campaign. How did your organization do? What did you find successful? If you have previously participated did you do anything different this year? What would you change for next year? Did you reach your goal? Did you come close to meeting your goals? You didn't reach your goal? Kind of assess that? Did you put your goal too high? Was it not attainable? Really thinking about how you can adjust based on what you've learned this year for next year's campaign. And then do you need to reach out earlier to donors as a question you might want to ask yourself? Do you need a stronger social media or email campaign next year? Since everything is still pretty fresh after this year's event you're going to want to take the time to meet, plan, decide what you want to do for next year. Now is also a great time to set goals for next year's campaign just because all the knowledge and the analytics you have after this year's event are still very fresh for you. For reports and disbursements so within your organization profile you can view your donation report from this year as well as the disbursements that are being sent out. You can download a detailed donation report and a CSV at any time through your organization profile. You're definitely going to want to download this report because that's where you'll find all of your donor information, email addresses, addresses, home addresses so you can send them thank you notes. So you can find all this info within reports all donations on your page. And then from this section you can filter by the actual giving event date itself so give 828 2022 to pull data. So if you've previously participated you can also I'm sure you've probably already downloaded last year's data but you can also pull that data and kind of compare and see how you've done different areas for improvement. Maybe you excelled in some area and you can kind of explain how you did better than last year potentially in a newsletter or something like that. You can also select custom timeframes like I said so if you're continuing to use the give 828 your organization page year round you can also select different dates whenever you need them. You'll also want to start to organize your donor information into whatever kind of client management platform you use so you're going to want to sort and use your data just so you can continue using this to build momentum for your organization even outside the event. So you'll want to add donor email addresses regular addresses you'll want to tag your donors from this year so that you can easily pull them up later. Of course you also just continue to have access to your organization page so you can always download this data but since it's still fresh it's a good idea to try to kind of tie up loose ends organize your information and get everything settled post event. And then regarding disbursements I wanted to add here so for the donations that were received during the event dates the money is going to be dispersed around September 10th so you should have already seen that. In general our electronic dispersals are going to happen twice a month on a consistent schedule of around the 10th and the 25th of each month but if you're not set up with EFT and instead you're set up with a check those are only going to be dispersed once a month on the 10th of every month around that date so you can expect a check mailed to your legal mailing address listed in your organization profile. You can see your legal address that you have on file within your settings organization profile. If you do need to update anything you can reach out to our mighty cause support team at support.mightycause.com and then of course everyone wants to know when prize funds will be dispersed so those will be dispersed to you by YBGV on around October 1st and then if you were a recipient of any matching grant funds during the Give 828 NYX 10K matching grant those will be dispersed separately by Mighty Cause around September 25th. So kind of key information to help you continue the momentum just so that you know this year's event of course has ended but the Give 828 platform and Mighty Cause is available to you and your organization on a year round basis. So just because the event has ended you don't need to you know download all your reports and sign off this is a really wonderful tool it's available to you around all these resources all of our support articles all of that information you can still access. I've listed here pretty much everything that you're going to continue to have access to within your organization profile and now is a good time to take extra time to kind of dive deeper into any of these tools and the features that you might have not have the time to kind of look at while you are kind of in the rush of the campaign. And also a good idea if you have time if you feel like you could benefit from someone at Mighty Cause helping show you around show you some tips and tricks you can always schedule a demo with one of our teammates they would love to show you around show you all the tools and then talk to you of course about there's any specific integrations if you use a different kind of platform or you fundraise separately somewhere else we can talk to you about how you can kind of get connected and get use Mighty Cause as a tool either in tandem with what you do use or switching over you know continue to just have Give 828 be like your go-to platform. If you are looking for more features we do offer advanced features this is kind of what that looks like if you have volunteer or opportunities that you would like to add to your profile so it's kind of a one-stop shop people can go they can donate they can see what other kind of volunteer opportunities are coming up that's part of our advanced plan if you need any integrations if you use sales force if you need anything like that you can talk to us and we can help get you familiarized with all of these cool tools and setup we also offer free advanced trials so if that's something that you want to try first you can reach out to Mighty Cause support team we can get you set up for that as well. Let's see I wanted to also mention we have a feedback survey on the Give 828 site we have a few questions it's not very long we would love to hear your feedback if you had a good campaign this year if there's anything that worked if there's anything that you saw that we did differently this year that you really liked we send out a lot of a couple different emails to you all which I'm sure you received if there was anything that you saw that you were like oh I would have loved to get more information on this or more information on how matching grants works we would appreciate that feedback because then we can kind of tailor those messaging and communications to you to make sure that they're serving what your needs are next year so you just go to the Give 828 site and you can click feedback and then send those over to us and of course if there's anything that stood out that was confusing or complicated or that you wish you could have done differently you can also let us know that as well and then of course we have support available to you year round if there's anything additional that you need any features any tools that you'd like to see we just love connecting with you all and hearing your feedback and of course if you want a demo if you are interested in continuing to use the platform it works for you we can always talk more about that as well I'm going to pass it back to you Nama if you would like to discuss anything no just I encourage anybody who hasn't filled out the feedback survey taking all comments into account last year we had some really great feedback that we were able to implement this year so please if you haven't filled it out yeah and then I do see a question came in are we able to turn off donations on the many Cubs platform you can turn off your discoverability so if you go into your account settings on your organization page you can toggle off your discoverability so that essentially turns off your donations no one is able to find your page if you no longer want to be on it and of course if you need help our support team can get that sorted out for you um but thank you everyone for attending the post webinar if you have questions this is one of our shorter webinars um and congratulations on an awesome event this year all right bye everyone there's one question oh there is is there another one are there opportunities to apply for grants uh you may want to answer that one Nama yes so there will be opportunities to apply for grants um with YBGV and we'll send an email with more information about that when it's when it's time to apply okay and then I missed the first six minutes when we received the match um so the match is going to be dispersed around September 25th so you should see that uh hit your organization around September 25th uh if you have EFT if you don't have EFT then it will hit in the check in the following month October 10th all righty I think that's everything if you anyone else has questions um let us know and if you want to access today's webinar it'll be added under the toolkit I see a question in there um all I will download it and upload it as a video in the toolkit all righty thank you everyone have a good rest of your day
