TCV Weekly News: 9th July 2020
 

Kia ora koutou  


Morning All!
Hope everyone has had a great week with this strange weather.
I have had a long week myself starting back up again with the Electoral Commission campaign for the General Election 2020.

We had a great Executive Meeting this week with lots to discuss on Monday 13 July at our Network Meeting starting at 12.30pm.  GDC Chambers.
I am looking forward to seeing new people at our meeting. And that the new membership year brings a renewed energy to the network post-covid and we can look forward to collaborating together in this second half of the year. 

This weeks newsletter has some great resources from our umbrella organisation Community Networks Aotearoa so make sure to check them out.

Have a great rest of the week!

Alice

Here at Community Networks Aotearoa, we were very grateful to hear from our network members during lockdown.  But things are not over!  There will be on-going repercussions to the lockdown that affect NGOs and communities.  We want to keep on top of how things are for everyone.

If you have any problems; stories; or issues please don’t forget you have a local network or direct connection to a national network.  If we are not told, we don’t know and we can’t do anything.

About the CNA Logo

Kia ora Team,

I thought I would make a time to talk about something you have seen often but maybe haven’t thought about. Our logo. We love our logo because it is really meaningful to us.

The mako head is the historic symbol of Community Networks Aotearoa’s previous brand.- The NZ Council of Social Services. The symbol is retained to show C.N.A’s proud link with its predecessor. In Maori Mako sharks signify a saviour of the seas... 

...rescuing sailors in peril.  In the far north, the ocean taniwha Ruamano took the form of a mako.  If a waka overturned, the crew called upon Ruamano to deliver them safely to land. In another legend, when the canoe captained by Tamatekapua was voyaging towards New Zealand, it met Te parata, an ocean creature who almost swallowed the canoe and its crew. They were saved by a mako and in its honour the crew renamed the canoe and their tribe Te Arawa (the shark).

Three makos represent the three stake holding groups- Community Networks Aotearoa, Government and the Community – coming together face-to-face, forming relationships and building pathways.

A secondary shape is formed by the three makos – a ti kouka or cabbage tree. Ti Kouka is respected for its remarkable ability to grown in all habitats and rebound from disaster.  It has considerable medicinal and food values. And ti kouka specimens were used as important navigation markers.

I can’t think of a better description of how C.N.A and our membership and government worked through the lockdown together. Looking after people in peril, in a time of great danger we worked together for the wellbeing of everyone, we represented ourselves throughout the country, we were responding to an issue of medical concern, and as a result we have strengthened and formed new relationships and pathways to continue working together.
All power to the NGO sector!

COVID-19 Implications on Philanthropic Funding and Grantmaking Survey Findings


In May 2020, Philanthropy New Zealand (PNZ) surveyed 120 of its philanthropic and grantmaker member organisations (funders) to gain a snapshot in time of the impacts of COVID-19 on their funding and approaches.

PNZ undertook the survey because many of the investments and revenue streams of funders, that provide the money they distribute, have been affected. Philanthropic funders and grantmakers are also seeing changed demand for funding given greater community need.

Eighty-two PNZ funders responded. Their giving in the past 12 months represented around $432 million.

What is one of the most common seizure triggers? Fatigue. Lack of sleep causes your body to be fatigued and you are more susceptible to seizures.

Sleep hygiene is the term given to healthy sleep habits. We have put together a few tips to help you improve your sleep.

NFP Bootcamp: Creating a Social Media Strategy

Doing social media for the sake of getting lots of likes isn’t very useful. Join us for a 4 part workshop series that will have you walk away with a clearly defined social media and content strategy that achieves NFP-focused outcomes that make a difference, like fundraising, customer attraction of volunteer recruitment. This interactive workshop series will take you through the process of finding the right platform, developing engaging and action driven content, and creating a social media strategy that works for you and your team.

Delivered over 4 weeks by Alecia Hancock of Hancock Creative, this workshop series is tailored to the NFP on a budget who wishes to achieve more through their social media channels. Each 1.5 hour workshop will provide practical information, sector specific examples, and a guide for developing your social media strategy, as well as an opportunity to submit your questions or challenges for discussion prior to, and during the session.
 

Workshop 1: Beginners Guide to Social Media
29 July - 1:00pm - 2:30pm NZST

The key to any successful not for profit social media channel or campaign is having a clear strategy. This comes from understanding your goals, knowing your audience, and then identifying the right platforms to reach that audience and achieve those goals. In this workshop we’re going to use current NFP sector trends and market research to identify what social media opportunities are available, and where your client and supporter base market are likely to be investing their time. We will then demonstrate how you can use this information to put together the beginning of a strategy plan.
 

Webinar 2: Telling Your Story Effectively on Social Media
5 August - 1:00pm - 2:30pm NZST

In this workshop, you’re going to look for the core of your organisation’s story that you will tell again, again and again. We’ll dive into key storytelling methodology and the 5 V’s of telling a great story in a social media world. You’ll leave this session with a clear idea how to move from just filling space on your social media feeds to creating stories that drive effective outcomes.
 

Webinar 3: Creating Great Social Media Content
11 August - 1:00pm - 2:30pm NZST

Now that you have a clear picture of your story, we will identify all of the different ways you can turn that story into content. This workshop will walk you through the "4 Types of Posts" you need to do on social media to create an engaged community. We'll also give you dozens of ideas on how to create unique, interesting and quick content on a regular basis, and how to structure and start planning your content ahead of time using a variety of free and paid for tools available.
 

Webinar 4: Using Your Social Media to Drive Outcomes
19 August - 1:00pm - 2:30pm NZST

Social media for the sake of getting lots of likes isn’t very useful. Instead your social media needs to be focused on driving key outcomes for your organisation. Together we’ll take a look at setting impactful social media goals, measuring the results and how to use social media like a funnel to achieve NFP-focused outcomes that make a difference, like fundraising, customer attraction of volunteer recruitment.
