Using Digital Engagement to reach supporters.  Each Ted-style Talk presentation will emphasize one particular digital area where their organization has done well or which is unique in some way for their organization.  They will also speak to particularly how it has been successful with millennials and younger donors.  Participants will be given the opportunity to comment and ask questions.

Area emphasized by each talk:

United Way will be speaking about Do More 24, the largest online giving day in the Greater Washington region, which has successfully engaged younger people to give and volunteer. 

Cultivating the next generation of donors is crucial to the future for all nonprofits. The American Heart Association will talk about the various ways they market their events to appeal to young donors and how they use snap chat and other social media tools to engage millennials while they are attending events.

Over the past 2 1/2, Catholic Relief Services has invested in a social media strategy to acquire and engage millennials on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. By leveraging interactive content, such as Facebook Live and 360 degree videos, we’re meeting millennials where they are online and making it easy for them to donate.

See3 Communications, a consultant working with the Jewish Community, will speak about the video outreach they have used to attract millennials and younger donors.
