FRD Forum
Video Conference
Nov. 24, 2009
 
Questions and issues discussed during the meeting:
 
Fundraising from Businesses –
  • What incentives do you offer corporations as incentives to donate?
  • Do you approach businesses more than individuals for donations?
  • Do you have business-minded marketing kits?
  • Use organizations like Matan, which can do a major campaign for you and other NGOs, to businesses.
 
Internet and Social Media –
  • Use volunteers/students to do this
  • Instead of a fundraising gala event, do a social media event. People are fundraising for organizations instead of a bar/bat mitzvah event.
  • Important to remember to keep up the relationship.
  • Some people may prefer the internet relationship rather than the in-person relationship.
 
Donors –
  • How to bring Diaspora and Israeli donors together, since we are moving away from a charity model to one of partnership.
  • Use lay leaders to develop relations with donors and to assist in building campaign.
  • Educate donor about impact of their annual commitment.
  • Israeli donors are more impatient. They don't want lots of reading materials. This is becoming the trend in the US as well.
 
Times of Crisis –
  • What happens in Israel during times of crisis?
  • Methods of communication during emergency.
 
Next Steps –
  • Create a "Friends of" Forum with LA and TA participants.
  • LIOJ (Lions of Judah) Israel and LA will discuss joint opportunities.
