MISSION CRITICAL: HARNESSING DATA + TECH FOR GREATER GOOD

Nonprofit marketers are moving beyond compelling storytelling alone and unleashing the transformative potential of data and analytics to propel their mission forward. In this presentation, you’ll hear tangible examples from the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation about how they turned data analytics insights into powerful content and revenue opportunities, and how they leveraged tailored technology, to help improve the lives of those with IBD.

Good things come in pairs. When it comes to breaking the cycle of current flat fundraising results, there is one particular pair that can help you unlock how you approach your strategy: Data and decisions.

In this session, RKD Group and The Jed Foundation will look at:

• The ways you can use data to move from a channel-first to an audience-first mindset
• Multiple examples of decisions that can be made based on the data you have
• How AI and machine learning have helped our teams make better decisions that fuel growth

UNLOCKING BRAVERY IN TODAY’S YOUTH TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGES OF TOMORROW

It started as an idea to uplift 300 children in Sierra Leone left without a school to go to and many orphaned in the wake of the Ebola crisis. Three simple words, Today, I’m Brave. An idea that living brave starts with today. An idea to inspire them to believe they can overcome any challenge.

What happened in turn was these children inspired the entire Today, I’m Brave team. Tenfold.

Realizing the impact this simple idea had on a community 7,000 miles away, set in motion a movement that eventually grew to become a global nonprofit. From helping to build 100 roofs in hurricane-stricken Puerto Rico for families in need to launching a speakers series featuring the bravest of stories to help raise funds for homeless youth, to its latest initiative Brave Camp New York, a 4-year, transformational camp program for under resourced kids from Harlem, Today, I’m Brave’s single mission is to unlock bravery in today’s youth so they can take on the challenges of tomorrow and become the next great leaders of their generation.

In this session, join Today, I’m Brave’s founder David Angelo as he shares what it takes to build a nonprofit from the ground up, with equal parts strategic insights, qualitative data and limitless passion, dedication and vision for a better, braver tomorrow.
