Discover the transformative role of mission communities in enhancing donor trust, retention, and acquisition. Dive deep into the psychology of donors and understand the crucial connection between community engagement and their trust-building process.
Join our esteemed panel of nonprofit experts: Courtney Bugler, President & CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer; Katrina VanHuss, Chair & Founder of Turnkey; Otis Fulton, VP Psychological Strategy at Turnkey; Meghan Dankovich, CEO of Charity Dynamics, as they provide invaluable insights on how your nonprofit can effectively leverage the power of communities to foster trust, motivate action, and ensure long-term supporter retention as well as add insight to:
The essential relationship between community engagement and the establishment of trust.
Insights into the self-validation feedback loop and its impact on donor behavior.
Strategies for leveraging communities to drive donor retention and acquisition.
Why the CEO must make the “Community” decision.
Nonprofit supporters seek more than just a cause; they seek a reflection of their identity. In a community, they find individuals who resonate with this shared identity, leading to powerful community engagement. This engagement acts as a flywheel. With each rotation, it intensifies, building trust in the environment, the idea, and most importantly, among its people. Trust is the cornerstone that inspires behavior, whether it’s donating, volunteering, or fundraising. As long as one remains within this validating cycle, retention is assured. And today, communities absolutely require an online element.
Join us for this enlightening session and learn how your nonprofit can effectively harness the power of communities to cultivate trust, inspire action, and retain supporters for the long haul.

CHANGE Philanthropy (formerly known as Joint Affinity Groups) was founded in 1993 to unify identity-focused philanthropic affinity groups into an empowered coalition between our seven core partners. Collectively, we are working to integrate diversity, inclusion, and social justice into philanthropic practice. As the work of our individual partners organizations developed and deepened, so did our need to strategically address equity. In 2015, JAG began to rethink our work, refocus our energy and transform into CHANGE Philanthropy. CHANGE_Philanthropy_small.jpg
What makes CHANGE Philanthropy unique is an advocacy of community priorities of partners with an intersectional approach. Each partner organization organizes resources and builds connections and represent the communities that they promote. That lived experience shapes our work every day, giving us a connection to the strengths and assets of different communities as well as to their needs. Together, we’re working to raise the level of dialog and shift practice among funders so that philanthropic dollars are dispersed through equitable practices that take the true concerns of all communities to heart.

Boundless Life: Create a Personalized Space Where Your Mission Comes to LifeCharity Dynamics
Building and strengthening relationships with the people connected to your cause continues to be the tried-and-true path to fundraising success. And in today’s world, the opportunities to connect with supporters (old and new) are increasingly happening online. With the average person spending 4 hours daily on their mobile phone--and 90% of that time in mobile apps—we must meet our supporters where they are. But how do you do that in a personalized, yet easy and seamless way? We have a (new) app for that: Boundless Life™.
Making Corporate Connections: Attracting Sponsors and Driving Value in a Virt...Charity Dynamics
With the pandemic forcing peer-to-peer fundraising events to go virtual, many nonprofits have found it challenging to recruit new corporate sponsors or demonstrate value via hard data to existing ones. But at the same time, the growing trend of corporate social responsibility has corporations more open to sponsorships. So how can nonprofits attract those like-minded corporate sponsors?
Listen in as Charity Dynamics’ Meghan Dankovich and Accelerist’s Brittany Hill discuss how nonprofits can best prove their value to corporations in what remains a largely virtual event world. They’ll look at ways to evaluate your donors to glean key demographic data that can help you match your mission to a corporation’s social responsibility goals.
They’ll also review several examples of how organizations are getting increasingly creative with technology to provide value to their sponsors — using announcement screens, app logo placement, push notifications, activity challenges, virtual booths, and more.
Highlights from our 2021 Boundless Solutions Product Roadmap webinar include:
• Enhanced activity tracking with Motion 2.0
• Usability enhancements with an updated look & feel
• New features in the Mobile App 7.0 Upgrade
• And even a new module called Boundless Community™!
How to Plan for End-of-Year Fundraising Success in a PandemicCharity Dynamics
Nonprofits have faced one challenge after another this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, end-of-year fundraising efforts to reach revenue goals are coming into sharper focus and with added pressure. On top of that, this election year will more than likely distract people from contributing fully to EOY campaigns. So what can organizations do, starting now, to maximize their EOY fundraising in this complicated landscape?
Join us as we hear from a panel of nonprofit experts — Adam Blanchard from Dayton Children’s Hospital, Emily Finton from Kennedy Krieger Institute, and Tatiana Marshall from The New York Public Library — about their key takeaways from their fundraising efforts so far and what strategies they are putting in place to ensure EOY success.
How National Kidney Foundation Is Using Activity Tracking to Rebrand Its Nati...Charity Dynamics
With virtual fundraising events here for the foreseeable future, organizations are taking a more strategic approach to creating virtual events that can enhance their peer-to-peer fundraising programs in the long term. One tool proving especially effective in driving participant and donor engagement is activity tracking—and National Kidney Foundation is putting it to the test by putting a virtual spin on its Kidney Walk campaign.
Join National Kidney Foundation’s Deanna van Lear and Charity Dynamics’ Kathy Kempff for a webinar, Thursday, August 27, at 11:30 a.m. CT, as they discuss NKF’s rebranding efforts around its Kidney Walk “Lace Up” campaign. This includes a series of participant challenges centered around fitness tracking designed to encourage all forms of engagement — physical, fundraising, recruitment, etc. — in a virtual environment.
From Physical to Virtual: How to Create Fundraising Success In A Virtual WorldCharity Dynamics
The switch from physical, in-person fundraising events to virtual ones came about swiftly this spring as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As nonprofits scrambled to support the unique needs of the people they serve, they also had to tackle tough decisions around whether to cancel events or pivot them to virtual — or find an altogether different path. Ready or not, they had to act fast.
Watch our on-demand webinar as we talk with three fundraising experts about how they made the shift from in-person to virtual events. Our panelists—from Boston Children’s Hospital, Canadian Cancer Society, and The Parkinson Alliance — discuss the key lessons they learned during this transition, including out-of-the-box event strategies they’ve developed, and how they intend to use those to ensure continued success going forward.
With COVID-19, most nonprofits were thrust into the new and uncertain world of virtual events. But as these organizations turn their attention from these immediately impacted spring events to future programs scheduled for summer and fall, they have the opportunity to flip the switch from “reactive” to “strategic.” And virtual events can even benefit and enhance your peer to peer program in the long-term!
Join us as we introduce our newest product offering — Boundless Motion! Learn how Charity Dynamics is bringing the power of activity tracking to mobile fundraising to create a virtual event experience that can drive donor & fundraiser engagement in the months ahead… and even beyond the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Offer the Sizzle and the Steak, But Make It All About Them: Making ‘Virtual’ ...Charity Dynamics
For nonprofits, one of many pressing concerns arising out of the coronavirus pandemic is how to handle peer-to-peer fundraising events. In-person events are, of course, a no go for the foreseeable future. So, many organizations are looking to virtualize their events.
But how can you create a P2P event experience in the virtual world that will fully engage your fundraisers? And how do you then convince constituents to not only participate, but to fundraise as well? It’s a tricky ask and we really can’t afford to screw it up. Avoid being tone deaf by fully embracing a “you-centric” method of communication that acknowledges where constituents are emotionally and provides an exciting path to meaningful action.
Join Meghan Dankovich from Charity Dynamics and Turnkey’s Otis Fulton and Ryan Grosenick, as they discuss these important questions to help pivot your now virtual P2P programs to maximize fundraising during these uncertain time.
There are no guarantees in our current COVID-19 climate. But there are hints that there are steps you can take to help your program be recession resistant, if not recession-proof.
Join us to discuss what you should be thinking about – and acting upon – to jump-start your fundraising program AND build a stronger foundation for the new normal that awaits us post-pandemic.
Social media is one of the best ways you can show love for your supporters and donors. It’s also key to empowering your supporters to share THEIR love of your organization by donating or sharing your content to help you reach new audiences.
Join us for our continued conversations in how to maximize your efforts during the coronavirus pandemic. We’ll be covering how to leverage tried and true – and new – social channels to support your acquisition, cultivation, fundraising and donor retention efforts at this time. We’ll also address #GivingTuesday Now – Giving Tuesday’s recently announced early May edition of the popular national giving day.
Facebook Fundraising Tools You Can Use to Help Combat COVID-19Charity Dynamics
Given the continuing impact of COVID-19, it is essential that nonprofits use all of the tools at their disposal to continue offering vital services in their communities. That includes adjusting their fundraising efforts to account for major events and campaigns that have been disrupted or canceled.
Listen to our replay from Tuesday, March 31, as Facebook’s North American Nonprofits Manager Kendra Sinclair, American Cancer Society’s Social Media Manager Tatum Barbaree, and Charity Dynamics’ VP of Client Success Meghan Dankovich shared best practice recommendations for fundraising tools nonprofits can and should take advantage during these uncertain times. Some of these tools included:
- Facebook Fundraiser
- Facebook Live
- Facebook Workplace
- American Cancer Society's social fundraising efforts on Facebook
Clever vs Creative: Which Takes the Fundraising Cake?Charity Dynamics
As fundraisers, we face a lot of pressure from colleagues, bosses, and board members to be ‘creative’ and ‘cutting edge’. Who hasn’t heard “Why can’t we be more like CharityWater?” At the same time, you’re expected to hit your aggressive bottom line numbers. Is it possible to do both? In this webinar, you’ll hear from organizations who WERE able to use humor and cutting-edge messaging to achieve fundraising and awareness goals.
Charity Dynamics, Boston Children’s Hospital Trust, and Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation discuss new ways to raise awareness and funds for your organization while still staying true to your brand and relevant to your audience.
The Boundless Fundraising 5.0 Release will be launching soon as here's a sneak peek of what you can expect:
- The expansion of our social sharing options (now to include Snapchat, LinkedIn direct messaging, and WhatsApp)
- The addition of a Facebook Fundraising banner
- And increased functionality and flexibility to manage your fundraising tools from your fingertips
Exploring Facebook Messenger Bot with Parkinson's FoundationCharity Dynamics
There's no doubt — Facebook Fundraising has forever altered the landscape of digital fundraising. But despite all of its benefits and revenue contributions, challenges still exist with the limited access to donor and fundraiser information, and inability to communicate directly with champions and advocates who create fundraisers on your behalf.
In this slide deck, we learn how Parkinson's Foundation decided to meet these challenges head on by deploying intelligent bot functionality with dynamic messaging to acquire the email addresses of an incredible 70% of its Facebook Fundraisers who engage with the bot.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Katrina ju jits story – reinforces her identity as ___________.
Courtney: when an old lady goes and competes in jui jitsu, what does that remind you of? Correct answer: $10,000 volunteer fundraiser.
And we all have these communities that get us to do things that other people might see as "out there." Courtney too.
Courtney's story on becoming involved in ballroom dancing and competing nationally.
Courtney Ballroom Dancing Picture & Story about that community
Otis
The relationship between community and identity is important for you to understand in order to build your community.
People seek out groups of others who share their values, interests, or ideas. What groups we choose to be a part of is a big component of how we see ourselves.
So, we engage with people in the community. If the group is a good “fit” for us, these interactions reinforce our identity. It’s what’s called a “social validation feedback loop.” The more we engage, the more our identity is reinforced. And being validated by others is VERY rewarding.
These positive interactions further strengthen my identity, making me more likely to engage—and the wheel goes round and round. And now it feels perfectly normal for Katrina to compete in a Ju jitsu competition at 60 years old and Courtney to be a nationally ranked ballroom dancer.
Whenever members of your community validate your identity, it tells you, “These people are like me. What I am doing is good.” So, these interactions with members of the community that build trust. And that trust extends to the idea that you share – in Katrina’s case, that staying strong is important, and in Courtney’s that the art of dancing is important.
Building trust requires the opportunity to engage with community members. That’s why nonprofit communities need to be more than just a collection of people with some common idea or belief (e.g., animal rights, constitutionalism). They also must have the ability to communicate with each other. “With each other” are the most important words. Katrina could have watched MMA a LOT and never competed, just as Courtney could have watched ballroom dancing a lot and never competed.
Research shows that people are likelier to behave positively toward people they trust (and like). In other words, trust in the community is actionable; it makes me more likely to behave in a way that supports the community and its goals. So, when a community member (maybe someone you've never met) asks you to do something, you're much more likely to comply and say yes. In the best-case scenario, it’s not the organization that drives the mission but the people in the community.
Otis: Two kinds are built: 1. in community, 2. in the idea
Otis: little more on impact of community on individuals
Katrina: Research by Joshua Birkholz, Chief Executive Officer | BWF (a consultancy) These are the results of a donor survey for multiple clients. Here is some of what Josh and BWF heard:
"it's actually kind of lonely." Who fills that gap? Other donors.
"I only hear from them when they want something." Who DOES talk to them? Other donors.
"I'm not sure my gifts matter compared to big gifts." Who makes one small gift matter? Other donors.
Katrina: This is powerful. Now, what's our role in making this happen?
Katrina: I don’t wanna be annoying, but…
Katrina: We thought community was primarily for fundraising. Many nonprofits call their fundraising initiatives ”community” and I would say some accomplished that to some degree. But thinking back to what Otis said, “a community shares an idea” (check) and ”community members can talk to each other.” Have we done that? Nope. We have never facilitated that in a big way. And often we even try to preclude community members from talking to each other. Do we systematically put ANYONE who cares deeply about our mission in the same room, or do we always make sure they are segmented typically by revenue?
And, tell me, does a community shut down between events? If my family is my community, do we only ever talk to each other at the yearly family reunion, or do we talk regularly at other types of events and in other ways.
Let’s look at examples of communities that have gotten it right.
Courtney – yep, this is a view in Piedmont Park.
Comment on success around the role of community. What you said earlier…
Pre-covid we’d put a new team and old team together.
Family team committee
Piedmont Park – man’d deve and marketing & volunteering, started calling them Keepers. To give them asense of ownership to “keeper of the park”
Keeper events purposefully
“keep” it beautiful and safe where they would work on a garden together. Got their hands dirty, meeting each other.
Story: how to make them feel like taking care of park was about ownership – called them keepers. Important: people make friends and have community and are giving in like-minded ways, more likely to stay connected. Connected Keepers to all activities. Giving them ownership & comm with eachother, they share numbers and drinks later.
Otis: these are the ways community messaging happens. Now, What do we spend the most time and money doing? The first, organization to member. When they reply we celebrate, right?
And, we spend a LOT of time in social fundraising getting them to reach out, right?
If you accept the premise that a strong identity is vital to a constituents’ continued interaction with us for multiple purposes, where should we spend our time? What kind of communications will give us the strongest identity building?
That’s right. The one we spend the least time on.
Otis:
”people on list” = not a community. Three types of communication do little to impact my identity, they lack power. But #4, member to member communications, that is powerful.
Maintaining discipline to #4 is hard, because muscle memory by nonprofits is built on 1-3.
You can shape social norms in a community – support, advocate for each other, fundraise, donate
Courtney –
* Young Survival Coalition story on message board
YSC some of most engaged, member to member >> fundraising in p2p”
YSC message board, small but highly engaged, 50% ppts were survivors who lived on that message board
Katrina – And guess what, Turnkey was making that mistake too.
We created Convenings and Alongsides – explain them.
But what we didn't do is connect the people in a way that they could "talk amongst themselves." We didn't set up a forum for that to happen. Why? For a little while I could use the excuse that I wasn't able to. But that excuse has gone away. What we have realized we have to do now is provide a situation that includes both in real life interaction and online interaction with each other.
I described what I did wrong to Meghan Dankovich, around a fire like this one, and she said, "I'm working on it."
Meghan – what went through your head as I was complaining?

OK, Meghan is working on it, I’m on fire because I don’t have it. But, why hasn’t it happened before? Why didn’t we build community, real community, before now? Ladies, thoughts?

KV interviews Meghan and Courtney:
Meghan – tell me about trying to sell community? Who owns it? Silo's
Courtney – tell me about trying to install this idea, beyond the software, as a p2p practioner. Now, you're a CEO. Is it different?
Exp at zero – must meet them where they are. EX: champions, but it’s messy. One of the things is create a way for opt in that is better, more listening less talking & educating, two different systems.
CEO chair priorities are different. I’ve been a mission first fundraiser, but now mission first CEO. Fundraising is not the mission, it’s how we make the mission happen. Allows us to see constituents as fac for success. We need them to have tools to be more embedded and see the impact. Something like this where someone can organically tell a story; way more powerful than any email with a perfect photo. This is interdepartmental. Will cross everybody.
It’s about retention and lifetime value.
Meghan: hard to sell / software vs. org value change / need to think differently about constituents (cB: digital folks not expert in community) the tool is just a tool; need csuite to buy into community. / strategic plan > org wide initiative. Must be set from top down.
CB: “clamor for connection” inperson declining / cause and community goes beyond the p2p adage / people give bec they are asked / they are asked because they are part of a community.
“piedmont park” = facilitating experience
Meghan: Sense of urgency – Jeremy – MGM breach – used emails to get in – making it harder to comm with email. Email is going down because of landscape.
Courtney: 2011 failure. How could we get them to connect with each other? It failed? We had a robust message board then. We didn’t do change management well. Botched implementation. WE didn’t get enough buyin. We thought we knew better
