DESCRIPTION
Slacktivism versus real engagement is a false dichotomy - the fact is that smart technologists who care about the world are innovating new ways for people to get involved in the causes they care about. Now, however, as we enter the next phase of this trend, questions still circle around the relationship between the new, less tested forms of involvement and traditional forms of donating and volunteering that are still the bedrock of thousands of social change organizations. If new technologies are adding more rungs to a ladder of engagement in the form of sharing, viral promotions, micro-volunteering, and micro-giving, is there a clear way to analyze their involvement? Where do these actions live beside other innovative forms of engagement -- such as membership services, board volunteering, and more? In this panel from the 2013 Nonprofit Technology Conference in Minneapolis, Robert Rosenthal from VolunteerMatch will lead a discussion with Lesley Mansford of Razoo, Jeff Patrick from Merkle, Lawrence Grodeska from Change.org and Dana Nelson from GiveMN, to demonstrate how technology and analytics can help your organization measure real engagement up the ladder -- in all its many flavors.

1. THANK, thank, THANK your donors 2. Be creative about how you thank your
donors – have fun and be memorable 3. When thanking, it’s much more
important to listen than to tell. 4. Donors care much more about their
name being spelled right and thank yous being timely than anything you have to say or how you say it.
5. Send a welcome packet after first gift: • ‘Welcome to the family’ letter from
president or board chair • Copy of most recent newsletter • List of ways to get involved • Transparency one-pager: about us,
board list, contact info, where to find 990s and audits, how gifts are used

Model 2: The Impact of the Outside Data Variables
• Though the overall importance of the outside data variables is low for the overall model/file, the impact on any given member’s likelihood to renew is a sizable lift.
• Due to the low coverage of these variables (only 5-10k of the 137,000 members), their impact on the overall renewal rate is not significant
