We’re continuing to help SEEDs for Autism refine the stuff we built for them. You can see the SEEDs for Autism Trello board and what tasks remain. If you see a task you can claim, join that board and plan to come help at the next jam session.
April 5th we’re also bringing a new charity into the fray: Tumbleweed Youth Shelter. You can read more about them via the link above but basically they help young adults who otherwise might go homeless get a place to crash and get back on their feet. Having attended their gala event last year and a breakfast recently I can vouch this is an awesome effort and a wonderful group of people behind it.
So here’s the rough roadmap of what we’re doing for Tumbleweed:
APR 5th: Theme = stabilize and shore up
- Get them a more professional visual identity
- Get their website ported over to WordPress and train them on how to add/modify content
- Get the site on scheduled backups
- Implement a lead magnet & capture mechanism we can use that ideally can be mentioned at the Apr 12th Gala in order to capture emails (investigate doing SMS-based capture from the event)
- Start application process for the Adwords non-profit Grant
MAY (TBA): Theme = automation, fundraising & deepen personal connections
- Implement an automated followup process for various stakeholders (donors, corp sponsors, evangelists, etc)
- Consider a moderated, asynchronous video messaging capability w/ program participants to foster a more personal connection
- Ability to accept online recurring donations via cc like we did for SEEDs
- integration w/ Matchmaker (current CRM)
JUNE (TBA): Theme = traffic generation, PR and promo
- Investigate promo campaigns for driving attendance to breakfasts and other events
- Other traffic gen activities – SEO, blogging, social media
- Provided we were accepted for Adwords grant, enable PPC campaigns and exhaust the $10k monthly budget to drive recurring donors and corp sponsors
So there you have it: an ambitious plan to remake the marketing and business processes for a worthy cause in need of our help. Are you up for the challenge?
