  4. Fundraising Consultants Weigh-in
    GivingTuesday campaign re-deploying for GivingNow on May 5th. This is a global initiative like they do
    the Tuesday after Thanksgiving
    Pamela Grow tweeted
    “The 2 worst kinds of fundraising you can do in COVID-19… 1 Tone Deaf: you send out that e-news
    appeal you scheduled in January with no changes, 2. You pause all your fundraising, assuming your
    donors don’t want to give right now.
    Mark Phillips tweeted
    “.. look at results from the appeals currently running and I think anyone that called an appeal should get
    it out urgently. People are helping. People are giving. People are great.”
    Jeff Brooks then follow-up with this Tweet “...seeing the same… getting better-than-usual results.
    Some dramatically better. All types of causes.
    Sandy Rees in her RISE webinar stated
    “Mission needs to keep moving even though the world is standing still. People are hungry for happy
    stories, happy leaders that result in happy endings.”

  6. Challenges Fundraising during the Coronavirus
    If not now, then when?
    ● Are you fully funded? What do you need to continue to be committed
    to the cause?
    ○ How will not fundraising hurt long term and compound the end
    result of NOT feeding, sheltering, researching, proving medical
    services, educating
    ● Cost of postponement in dollars and commitment to the cause
    ○ Move to the summer - when?
    ○ Move to the Fall - potential conflict with other longstanding
    events

  14. Live Stream Considerations
    Basement → Full production, or something in between
    ● Most streaming technologies introduce latency between the
    recording and the viewer. Optimistically 10-20s … maybe more.
    ○ Avoid giving $ specific amounts in the stream
    ● Screen compositing for more comprehensive content
    ● Auctioneers need to fill more space
    ○ More selling of the item vs encouraging specific bids?
    ● Lack of feedback from ‘reading the room’
    Pre-plan, practice, be prepared.
