How Sahan Journal Built Community Support to Grow Revenue by 50% in One Year

Katie Hawkins-Gaar

Institute for Nonprofit News (2021), 16 pp.

"The nonprofit news outlet, dedicated to providing coverage for and about immigrants and Minnesotans of color, launched in August 2019 with just one salaried employee—its founder and editor, Mukhtar Ibrahim. Two years later, the news outlet had 11 salaried employees and three contractors. The digi ... tal news organization is a fundraising powerhouse. In 2019, Sahan Journal brought in nearly $500,000 from supporters, including contributions from foundations and individuals. In 2020, it raised over $770,000 in total revenue, more than a 50% increase from the year before. And as of July 2021, it’s up to $1,240,000 in revenue. Compared with other local and state news outlets also founded in 2019, Sahan Journal has brought in roughly quadruple the median amount of revenue. And there’s more: Sahan Journal has dramatically grown its audience. In its first year of publication, Sahan Journal’s monthly uniques more than quadrupled and its email newsletter subscribers increased by 1,400%. And, as the audience grew, so did individual donations. The number of donors more than tripled from 253 in 2019 to 785 in 2020. One of the most important ways that Sahan Journal has achieved such financial success is by participating in NewsMatch, a collective fundraising campaign that pools matching gifts from national, regional, and local funders to inspire millions of small donations to support nonprofit journalism. During its first NewsMatch campaign, from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, 2019, Sahan Journal raised $25,500 in individual donations. The following year, the nonprofit raised more than $58,000 in eligible donations during NewsMatch and—more notably—leveraged the program learnings to establish best fundraising practices and launch its own small-dollar donor fundraising campaigns. In total, Sahan Journal raised $110,000 from individual giving in 2020. Organizations like Sahan Journal that participate in NewsMatch don’t just receive matching funds. As part of the program, they are required to be members of the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN), which means they participate alongside a cohort of hundreds of other nonprofit news outlets. They also receive training resources and fundraising support from INN and learning partners like the News Revenue Hub. Altogether, participating organizations receive unrestricted financial support, new skills and tools to strengthen fundraising capabilities, and valuable engagement with supporters who care about quality news. This case study outlines Mukhtar’s vision, details how he and his staff have raised funds, and includes advice and tips for other news outlets looking to build support from individual donors and major funders."

Voces en Movimiento: Semilleros de Comunicación. Manual - Memoria

Bogotá: Grupo Comunicarte; Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) (2021), 134 pp.

"Con profunda alegría y gratitud presentamos este Manual, una Memoria que recopila hechos-actividades de un grupo de personas que se embarcaron en un proceso con la mas alta incertidumbre. Como hurmanidad se estaba vivienda la PANDEMIA denominada COVID19, todo daba entender que el confinamiento, lo ... s distintos momentos de cuarentena (ya fuera total o por localidades) iban para largo, y así fue. Para este año 2021, ademas, se sumaron los paros, las manifestaciones sociales, las agresiones contra los bienes de lo público. Por lo tanto, gracias a la tecnología, la virtualidad había venido para quedarse, sin duda alguna, nada volvería hacer como antes. Ha sido la oportunidad de encontrarnos ante una nueva forma de vivir y de relacionarnos las personas y las organizaciones. [...] Es en medio de este contexto, que el equipo de trabajo de Grupo COMUNICARTE busca todas las formas pata convocar gente; fue una gran preocupación de como encantar y vender la idea a una población pendular, como son los habitantes del centro de la ciudad, barrio Santa Fe en Los Martires, tocar y tocar la puertas a las organizaciones e instituciones presentes en las localidades de Bosa y Los Martires, y gracias a la respuesta positiva de alguna institución como la de la |glesia Luterana de Bosa-Porvenir y grupos pequeños, luego jóvenes que se sumaron al grupo base que iban y devolvían, asi se conformaron los dos grupos Semilleros que hoy coronan y experimentan el reconocimiento de un grupo de amigos. También se cuenta con un espacio donde los venezolanos y venezolanas y algunos de las comunidades de acogida, han sentido como un escenario para hacer “catarsis", un lugar donde todos tienen la libertad de la palabra y la expresión, donde han encontrado y descubierto los medios de comunicación y entre ellos la Radio, como un pretexto para ser tratados como personas, mejorar su calidad de vida, para aceptarse y aceptar a los demas. Para generar contenidos mediaticos, noticias positivas, historias de vida, historias de superación que unen las dos caras de un mismo y único pueblo. Esta es la historia de Migración vista y vivida desde otro enfoque, ésta es y trata de ser la vida y posición de una comunidad que acoge a unos hermanos del otro lado de la frontera. Esta es y trata de ser el recorrido de una experiencia de Comunicación y Migración con rostro humano y solidario." (Presentación, páginas 7-8) more

Common Service Evaluation: What Role Has the Common Service Played in Helping Agencies Communicate with Rohingya and Host Communities During the Covid-19 Pandemic?

Nicola Bailey, Nushrat Mehjabin, Sifati Tamanna

London: BBC Media Action (2021), 51 pp.

"The common service for community engagement and accountability, through its consortium members BBC Media Action and Translators Without Borders (TWB), aims to help agencies and sectors working to support Rohingya refugees and local host communities living in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh to achieve thi ... s by providing a range of specialist, technical support services. Movement restrictions implemented since the beginning of the pandemic meant that humanitarian programmes were reduced to essential services only in the Rohingya camps, community engagement efforts were restricted, and many initiatives planned for the host community were cancelled. The common service adapted its activities in a number of ways: carrying out online training sessions with practitioners; conducting telephone research with communities; shifting the focus of communication products to meet communities’ information needs around Covid-19; and working with partners to use communication channels which would ensure information was still able to reach communities [...] This evaluation has shown that practitioners feel the common service played a critical role in getting important information to Rohingya communities during this time. It did this through: - Helping partner agencies understand Rohingya communitiesf perspectives and concerns, and how to communicate with them, based on up to date research and a cultural understanding developed over time (using What Matters? as a vehicle for sharing this information, as well as providing practitioner training and bespoke advice). - Creating and disseminating audio and visual content which is easy for Rohingya people to understand, and helps volunteers and field staff communicate effectively with them. - Working in partnership with humanitarian agencies to adapt communication strategies and make sure information was reaching people despite Covid-19 restrictions, for example adapting audio programmes to be played through mosque loudspeaker systems; training Imams to communicate on Covid-19; ensuring content is played at food distribution points and other essential services; and equipping community health workers with simple and effective communication materials about Covid-19 to use in door to door visits."
