SWOT Analysis Of The Coastal Bend Day Of Giving

St. Jude children’s research hospital is a non profit hospital where patients do not have to pay for care. St. Jude produce many heartfelt commercials to get the public to know about them who they are and why they should donate. Besides newspapers, and billboards, commercials where the best way to advertise, now a days social media is the way to go. St. Jude’s children’s research hospital should make less commercials to promote themselves and step into the new era where the benefits will be obvious and better than what commercials used to provide them. There are many ways to promote oneself on social media to reach various audiences and to get their point across. St. Judes should sell themselves online to the public and gain important support

St. Jude’s target for marketing fundraising is far larger than most charities. Their target; preschoolers, professionals, 8th graders and 80 year olds, television, radio, local drives, school drives, trike-a-thons, math-a-thons, local, county, state and national events. Some of the big ones that you may be familiar with; the “Dream Home Giveaway”, the “Thanks and Giving Campaign” and the radio-a-thon “Country Cares”. Because of last year’s St. Jude’s NFL event, 18% of American’s said they planned to support St. Jude’s “Thanks and Giving Campaign” during this past holiday season. No opportunity is turned away.

The United Way of America and United Way International are part of a federation of nonprofit organizations formed by caring people to serve the needs of their communities. They bring neighborhoods together and facilitate measures toward making a difference to better the world. They have over 1,300 local United Ways in the United States and over 3,000 United Way organizations operating in 45 countries. They raise funds and distribute them to the most effective local service providers, build strong alliances, and coordinated volunteer support among charities. An obstacle that United Way needs to overcome is how many people want to have their donation used in a specific manner. Some people are not interested in giving their

As vice president of my school's NHS chapter, I am an advocate for good causes. Our service project this year is a substantial charitable endeavor. In 1996, a fellow NHS member and friend lost a sibling to SIDS. To assist his family's fight for a cure, our chapter initiated a fundraiser. Tee-shirt sales raised thousands of dollars; a ceremony at a football game advertised our cause to the community; our slogan “Big Steps for Baby Steps” galvanized the school; a partnership with the CJ Foundation for SIDS legitimized our efforts with sponsors. Each of the school's clubs and teams has dedicated itself to the cause. A 5k in May is our culminating event. Uniting an entire school and community behind such a worthy cause is gratifying. The other

Since I first delved into community service two years ago, I have not only found a passion for helping others, but also a sense of belonging. After my freshman year of highschool, I was lacking direction. I had no idea what I wanted to involve myself in, but I knew I wanted to start something to help people. Therefore, my friends and I created our own charity, The Pink Bowz. Since 2015, I have worked in my community to expand this organization which helps women battling breast cancer. The Pink Bowz has since completed approximately 200 hours of community service and donated over $5000 to five women in the Hampstead - Wilmington area. Through this experience I found a passion for the fundraising process. I campaigned at my school to start a

I recently held a restaurant fundraiser at a local Buffalo Wild Wings to raise money for CASANA and Apraxia Awareness. After a lot of social-media advertising- borderline harassing- I was amazed to see various members of both the non-apraxia and apraxia community supporting the fundraiser.

This public relations campaign started in June 2014 with an initial 5 fonts available for purchase through eCommerce website http://www.homelessfonts.org. Anybody who purchases these fonts receives a quality seal identifying the project and validating their social commitment. This interactive campaign utilises engagement with the target audience to peak their interest, by allowing them to get involved by using the purchasable fonts on anything, such as a logo, poster, website etc. (Smith,

I volunteer full time for a non-profit animal rescue group called “Dogs 2nd Chance.” This organization established in 2007 has fostered and found new homes for over 500 dogs locally, up the East Coast and in the New England area. Dogs fostered in our homes are rejected family pets found abandoned on the streets, abused and left to fend for its self. We provide medical treatment, rehabilitation, and find loving homes for each rescued animal. While working with the rescue group I have successfully helped manage multiple events through crowdfunding, silent auctions, and community events, so far this year we’ve risen over $10,000 for the cause.

Although your participation in this event is a great way to promote your business, it also provides an important community service by helping us in our efforts

By creating co-collaboration between nonprofits who would benefit from the proposed events, new unofficial ambassadors are established and grassroot level promotion of participation in 6 Degrees is created. Give-back oriented events create a natural opportunity for new-membership sign-up promotions, which increases ongoing revenue.

Every year, we work diligently to provide for our community and our own school. One of our most popular events is the “Cookies for a Cause” campaign. Before Valentine’s Day, we gather to bake sugar cookies and make heart-shaped candies. Then, on the day of Valentine’s day, we hold a bake sale, and sell these delicious treats to our school. This year, we managed to raise a whopping $333, in which we will donate the funds to purchasing an Aquabox. These Aquaboxes contain water filters and other humanitarian goods, which can be given to families in need across the nation. Being able to help others beyond our small community is the greatest reward one can receive. It’s not everyday that we get the opportunity to touch hearts that are out of our reach. Another one of our most popular activities, and my most favorite, is our “Sandwiches for the Homeless” events. This year, we’ve been lucky enough to

This organization holds a charity food bank for the Christmas holidays every year and usually takes about 2.5 weeks to fully sort and package the donated foods for delivery. The organization’s objectives last year involved improving promotions and productivity. To achieve this, John suggested that the organization should use social media to reach out to corporations. He held a small workshop for workers that illustrated how to communicate and persuade corporations to support the organization’s cause. From this, workers privately messaged several PR and HR executives on social media to tell them about the charity and ask for their support. Out of about 200 organizations contacted, 105 organizations agreed to partake in the charity. In addition, about 20 companies approached the organization for more

The organization’s communication objectives are raising awareness and reaching new constituents for giving, so HubSopt helped the organization with deepening relationships with its constituents through blogs with detailed volunteer service information. Paine (2011) suggests non-profit organizations to “use content analysis to measure activity, sentiment, and messaging” (p. 198). In this case, the content analysis tool can determine the key messages that need to be communicated. In addition, after analyzed the communication channels, the non-profit organization can create a survey. Paine (2011) states that “the most reliable way to measure relationships with your members is to conduct an in-depth survey using the Gruning Relationship Survey” (p. 200). The survey can be conducted online or in-person, depending on the organization’s budget and time

For my Social Capital activity, I chose to make a donation to the 2016 Christmas Fundraiser. I like to give donations; especially during the holiday time because I was lucky enough to receive amazing gifts and celebrate the holidays with my family every year, so I want to try to make that possible for others who are not as fortunate to experience this too. It is also just as important to give as it is to receive when it comes time for the holiday season because with all of the holiday shopping and chaos, the giving back part is often forgotten.

ARC and ABC have established strong marketing tactics for themselves, with ARC’s use of social media to set them forward and ABC’s focus on bringing in sponsors and individual donations. In order to stand out even more, ARC should continue to enhance their social media tools because social media has proven to be quite impactful. ARC should also continue connecting with other corporations and companies to bring more sponsorships in. By highlighting the corporations and showcasing what the collaboration does for people, people will see that their money is spent for a good reason. Reaching out to corporations and donors both can push ARC become the top organization to help people everywhere who needs their help.
