To college students, it might mean the start of a new year of knowledge and self-discovery. Candid has long worked with academic researchers to create custom data sets to answer specific research questions, a service we continue to offer.

Virtual options can be particularly helpful when fundraising for education, as they allow you to reach out to supporters of your students who may be further away, such as aunts and uncles, grandparents, and family friends. They also give you a unique opportunity to get the family members of those students to make a recurring donation.

Schools have a unique opportunity to build their Facebook following and stay connected with alumni due to the deep relationships that are built with students, families, and faculty.

Tuition for ten students in an after-school program? Long campaigns can start to feel like a drag to your audience and may make them question why you aren’t being successful.

The last time I was in Baltimore was in 2007, with Amnesty International at their regional conference, attending as a bright-eyed student organizer trying to learn how to more effectively spread the good word of social justice and human rights (the story of how I got involved in nonprofit marketing!).

Polls and surveys indicate that people are more likely to donate to a cause that they know is making a difference, but the question is: How do you let people know, without a doubt, that your nonprofit is succeeding in its mission? As you’ve probably guessed, infographics can be a huge asset in your cause marketing campaign.

I spent some time in the beginning asking questions and letting people share their experience and perspectives on social media. As much as I could, if I got asked a question, I invited the younger folks in the room to answer and facilitated an inter-generational dialog. It was eye opening. Here's the full room exercises. (1)

Teachers or grandparents could maintain bookmarks of their students or grandchildren's updates with each visit. Beyond recording, I'd suggest that children's museums start blogs geared towards different audiences--parents, teachers, kids--and use those to share museum-endorsed links, upcoming programs, and ask questions of the audience.
