- Self-reliant: bend rules if they need to Striving for work life balance Lives for today Distrust of corporate america The boomers are a hard act to follow, More self reliant – like to solve own problems Quick fix – sound-byte processing and instant gratification Collaborative and independent – they work well independently, but also on teams You will find more movement between jobs with this group Direct communicators – don ’t want to read between the lines. Just tell me what you want to say. Financially-motivated – huge amounts of debt from school loans, housing, etc. MOTIVATIONS: Money; Balancing work and home/family; Results; Efficiency; Money; Challenge; Flexibility; Healthy lifestyle; Hybrids – making things their own MESSAGING: Straight talk; Get to the benefit or result; No B.S or unsubstantiated claims; Informal; Reduce sexism; Increase Environmentally friendly verbiage; Humor; Thought provoking comments IMAGERY– Inclusive

- How have generational differences affected your organization?
- This slides can be more about statistics that anything
- Provide multi-generational families with resources like Resource Generation and 21/64 Junior boards
- Emily ’s Comments: Hard to recruit because they are viral Get email contacts from Facebook, mailing address from events May hear about your cause through direct mail or an event, but donate through a website or Facebook campaign
- Largest group next to boomers so they are a good group to focus on for lifetime giving Similar to Gen X they may hear about your cause one way and donate through another channel. Like websites like care2.com, stayclassy.org, change.org – allow them to be ambassadors for your organization. Make sure you offer trainings and networking events
- Here are some basic principles of fundraising that social media can help with. Social media is really related to individual donors Do you have ways to engage them? A great strategy is to recruit and work with younger board members who might have access to using social networks and who can engage their circle of friends or networks. Over 50% of the world ’s population is under the age of 30 96% of Millenieals belong to a social network EDA Consulting
- Junior boards, next gen professional groups
- It used to be simpler because there were fewer strategies to engage donors; now we have so many options due to social media that there needs to be more strategy.
- One of the best things about social media is that there is potential for dialogue. A direct mail appeal can't do this in the same way that a blog can. Share news and opinions, take risks, and be ready for dissent and support. Your organization is trying to enhance engagement and you should be willing to post comments that challenge your opinions. This is how strong dialogue begins. You can always respond directly to positive or challenging comments, but allowing that space means you are open to the community. Of course, inappropriate or demeaning language is never acceptable. First thing you need to do is LISTEN and solicit participation before asking for anything This is a way of building relationships One of the great things about social media is that it is a low-cost way to communicate with your constituents. It's a great way to tell current donors and supporters how their participation impacted a goal, clients, or the mission. In fundraising, the closer we bring donors into the inner circle of our organization, the more likely they are to give and to give more dollars. Using social media is a great way to open that door to current and prospective donors, building closer relationships. Takes time – look at other successful campaigns. It is harder to track the ROI.
