How to adapt your content strategy

The slides can be found at this link: http://www.charityhowto.com/library

Just posted our official statement to all channels. We’re closed for two weeks at the very least. All programs and conferences have been cancelled or postponed. My question for now is what should our social media feed look like? We don’t want to add any COVID-19 content because we’re not the news or health care officials. Do we recycle old content? I don’t want to waste our new stuff if it’s going to be lost in the noise for a while. Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

How to use live streaming to build community and raise money

The slides can be found at this link: http://www.charityhowto.com/library

I work an educational working ranch/farm in Muir Beach, CA. Since we are closed to the public including school field trips, we are planning to do a few Facebook Lives and Insta stories to invite people to see the inner workings of the ranch. My question is how long should these be? 5 to 10 minutes? Trying to create some guidelines for our staff to make it easy for them.

Why do Creators raise money on Twitch?

  • The charity addresses a cause they are passionate about.
  • They want to take part in an established larger campaign.
  • Examples: St. Jude Play Live, Extra Life Game Day, Pride Month,

Women’s History Month

  • They are incentivized to join a campaign.
  • Creator raises x amount and is rewarded (e.g. thank you package,

shirt, hoodie, gaming chair, game codes).

Viewers who donate on Twitch are motivated by two main factors:

  • They love the individual Creator and want to see them

succeed at their milestones and goals.

  • They are incentivized to donate based on rewards offered by

the Creator or the charity. The best incentives are ones that are engaging with the audience.

How to communicate about cancelled and postponed events

Know that your donors will accept this shift.

  • They are resilient, and they expect and want you to be as

well.

  • They are rooting for you and want you to succeed!
slide-48
SLIDE 48

Coronavirus and Nonprofits: How to Communicate in a Time of Crisis

How to communicate about cancelled and postponed events Start from a place of compassion.

  • We are shifting to virtual and away from in-person, IRL (in real

life) events because we are concerned about the safety and health of our donors and supporters.

  • Don’t appear angry or bitter (even though you have every right

to be).

  • Talk to your supporters as you would your friends and family.
  • Make sure they understand that their safety and health are your

very first priority when planning events.

slide-49
SLIDE 49

Coronavirus and Nonprofits: How to Communicate in a Time of Crisis

How to communicate about cancelled and postponed events

Use the existing script.

  • You have a plan, a protocol – bring them in!
  • You will still need to solicit auction items, get sponsors

excited, sell “tickets” and more. Create a Special Events Steering Committee.

  • Find staff, volunteers, Board members, clients that are willing

to help you brainstorm, troubleshoot, and adapt your events to go virtual.

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Coronavirus and Nonprofits: How to Communicate in a Time of Crisis

How to communicate about cancelled and postponed events

Don’t overwhelm yourself.

  • Do not bite off more than you can chew.
  • If you have never run an event on Facebook Live or Zoom, I

wouldn’t recommend trying to bring in 50 people from 50 different locations to do a livestream concert or educational event.
