New website states: "We deliver capacity building so NGOs can deliver success." Similarly, InsideNGO could offer organizational capacity assessments, possibly done in tandem with in-houses and other offerings/ suggestions. Already done once for an organization based on a request, we could offer this ourselves. We'd need to boost internal capacity and process for this to occur.

Can we figure out how many people that attend a workshop attend more than 1? What workshops are they attending? What's the likelihood that someone attending their first InsideNGO workshop will return for another? We want to keep people engaged and coming back for more, so we need to understand what motivates them.

Not all of our POCs are useful. With every new member, we should ask for various POCs - HR, IT, FGC, etc. That way, depending on what we're offering, we already have an ideal contact. This could also help with facilitating group registrations.

# data[].attributes.body
Find ways to increase awareness of InsideNGO to staff of member organizations. Every staff of a member organization is a member, so they should all be aware of the benefits. Perhaps provide main POCs with InsideNGO flyers specific to explaining member benefits or offer to visit for a brief "InsideNGO overview".

Would take it a step further and do more generic training's around operational effectiveness (HR,Finance etc) - similar to MANGO - but then have sections at the end that talk to USG, DFID, EU funding etc

Ask any of the young people your charity works with right now to name the social media channel they use most often. I can pretty much guarantee the answer will be Snapchat.

Snapchat's user base has grown by 56% in the last year, with over 400 million snaps sent every day. If you're a non-profit looking to connect with teenagers and young people this is the social media platform you need to get your head around. In this blog I've looked at seven organisations using Snapchat for fundraising, campaigning and volunteer recruitment. How could your charity use it?
Snapchat username - AmirKingKhan1
Working with Penny Appeal, World Champion Boxer Amir Khan welcomed Syrian refugees as they landed on the Greek island of Lesbos. His Snapchat story that day featured raw video of refugees landing on the beach with their makeshift rafts. Amir spoke directly to some of the refugees about their experiences and their journey. Those videos struck a chord with the thousands of young people following Amir on Snapchat - helping them understand the reality refugees face and giving them an opportunity to help.
Snapchat username - YoungEnterprise
"We found that the demographics using Facebook were typically volunteers in the 18-30 age bracket. Our Twitter and LinkedIn were mostly used by businesses and charities. Young people just weren't following us and we needed to find a new way to connect with them."

Alasdair Luke, Stakeholder Engagement Officer at Young Enterprise NI.

Young Enterprise NI use Snapchat as way to engage young people, providing them with bite-size business tips and advice. The charity have found that engagement levels are high, with over 70% of young people opening the snaps they send.

Royal National Lifeboat Institution
Snapchat username - RNLI
"The RNLI has a long history of communicating innovatively with supporters - holding the first ever charity street collection in 1891. Social media is an important way for us to have conversations with our supporters and Snapchat allows us to connect with younger users. By providing engaging content on a channel that is relevant to them, we hope to raise awareness of our lifesaving work."

Emily Pykett, Social Media Manager at RNLI

The RNLI has organised competitions, shared coastal safety advice and told stories of their volunteer lifeboat crew on Snapchat. RNLI know that Snapchat will only continue to grow in importance as a way of recruiting younger volunteers.
Snapchat username - MuslimAid
"This app fits in with our social media strategy very well, as we are trying to raise awareness and connect with a younger audience who may or may not volunteer with us, to better engage with them."

Sabir Ahmed, Social Media Officer at Muslim Aid

Snapchat is used by the non-profit as a key volunteer recruitment tool and as a hassle-free way of bringing their events to life.
Snapchat username - OndAzul
Brazilian environmental NGO, OndAzul harnessed the fleeting nature of Snapchat as part of a very effective campaign. They shared 10 second Nature Snapfacts with their followers. Teens who opened their Snap would catch a fleeting glimpse of natural beauty being destroyed by man made hazards. Their campaign on the delicate health of the planet is a great example of what is possible with a bigger budget.
Snapchat username - WWF_DK
The Danish branch of WWF used Snapchat to emphasise the speed at which endangered species disappear. Each ad featured one of five endangered animals with the tagline 'Don't let this be my #LastSelfie'.

The campaign exploits the popularity of the selfie in popular culture, particularly for younger demographics. Users were encouraged to snap and send the picture to their friends, a sober image to raise awareness of the issue.
Snapchat username - DoSomething
For a non-profit whose core audience is young adults aged 13-25, Snapchat was a no-brainer.

"When we make interactive Snapchat stories, we ask ourselves, "How ridiculous can we be? How much fun can we have?" Recently, we've been experimenting a lot with interactive Snapchat stories and cross-platform engagement. All of DoSomething's campaigns have an SMS text message component, since text messages have a 97% open rate and are one of the best ways to reach teens."

Colleen Wormsley and Bryce Mathias, DoSomething.org, interviewed by Dasha Battelle for .
