I want to be like J-Hud. Better Together: Today's post is written by Amy Braiterman, principal strategy consultant at Blackbaud and author of the Friends Asking Amy Blog. As the smart minds at Convio and Blackbaud converge, Team TR is excited to welcome Amy into the P2P braintrust as an additional resource for our clients. She supports customers with their P2P fundraising programs using a process she refers to as “data-driven strategy.” Amy’s data driven strategy analyzes how effective event participants are using online fundraising tools and takes those results to develop an event fundraising plan.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure to participate in the SF Foundation Center’s 35th Anniversary Open House where I had an opportunity to lead a mini-workshop on best practices in social fundraising for almost a 100 people from Bay Area nonprofits. I was an early adopter of this approach back in 2006 and over the years I have had the opportunity to raise over $250,000 for a charity that supports Cambodian children using these techniques as part of online giving contests like the Case Foundation’s America’s Giving Challenge.
For more in-depth learning experiences, I do a pre-workshop assessment, but for this mini-workshop I did a living assessment in the room. I always enjoy the opportunity to present on social fundraising because while the tools come and go, the principles for success don’t change. Untitled.
