17. Komen Corporate Sponsorship Approach Whether a program offers to donate a portion of product sales or requires consumer participation in exchange for a donation, our objective is that all programs that benefit us are meaningful, educate women and men about the disease and generate significant funds for research and community outreach. Kocek
18. Komen Corporate Sponsorship Approach: Five Key Questions Komen Wants Consumers To Ask 1. Is this company committed? Read the product packaging and promotional materials or display and visit the company Web site to make sure the company is credible and committed to the cause. 2. How is the program structured? Transparency is key. Is the company clearly stating how the money is raised and how much will be going to charity? For example, if it's a donation per purchase, ask how much of purchase price goes to charity—is it two percent or 10 percent—or some other amount? If there is a minimum contribution guaranteed by the company, what is the amount? Is there a maximum donation that will be made by the company? 3. Who does the program benefit? Does it support a well-managed, reputable non-profit or fund? Again, we recommend that consumers read Web sites. We make it very clear on our site who we are, how we structure programs and how the monies are used. The Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance is one resource for information on non-profit organizations if you are unsure (visit www.give.org ). 4. How will the organization that benefits use my money? It should be abundantly clear where the monies go. What organization will they support? Will the dollars generated go to research, education, community programs or all of the above? we are very specific about our programs, activities and grants awarded to support our mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. View our most recent Annual Report . 5. Is the program meaningful to me? Is the program supporting a cause you believe in or have been touched by? Based on the details of the program and the potential for dollars to be raised does the program make sense to you? Selecting the right program is a personal choice based on your interests, your passions and a cause that is important to you. Source : http://ww5.komen.org/Partners/FiveQuestionstoAsk.html Kocek

51. Komen for the Cure: Path to Success Strong Personal Story Both Susan G. Komen and Nancy Brinker were affected by breast cancer, giving the cause a deeply personal connection. Focus Komen for the Cure was one of the first breast cancer organizations to raise funds for breast cancer research, instead of cancer research in general. Transparency Komen’s annual reports deliberately highlight where every dollar gets spent. Thought Leadership High profile endorsements/involvement in scientific communities, universities and government. Political Neutrality e.g. Tipper Gore and Marilyn Quayle, both former vice-presidential ladies, have served as honorary chairs of the Komen Foundation’s Race for the Cure. Carefully Selected Corporate Partners* Partners have overlapping target customers and shared interests that relate to the cause. Connected & Passionate Influencer Group Celebrities who have been affected (either personally or through family/friends) along with thousands upon thousands of survivors who spread Komen’s message of education and hope. *KFC caused some backlash Kocek
52. Your Nonprofit’s Next Steps Focus Your Cause Keep it simple and straightforward. If you can’t explain it in 200 characters or less, it’s too complex and people won’t remember it. Deepen the Personal Connection What is your nonprofit’s personal connection with the cause? What is your personal story that will pull people in? Define Your Key Targets Who are your key audiences for your cause? Consumers? Partner Corporations? Politicians? Komen has a slightly different strategy/approach for each group. What is your strategy/approach for each of these groups? Understand Your Target What does your target feel/think about the issue your trying to solve? Is it an issue that resonates? Is it something they can relate to? What are the perceptual hurdles your target has to overcome in order to volunteer or donate? Engage Your Target How can you make your cause less passive (e.g. donating money) and more active/engaging/meaningful? Komen’s Race for the Cure is high engagement/involvement, from raising funds to training for the race. Kocek
53. Your Nonprofit’s Next Steps Identify Your Ideal Corporate Partners Do their target customers overlap with your target? Do they, as an organization, have clearly defined interests that relate to your cause? Are they willing to activate their partnership across multiple channels with dedicated media weight? Build Thought Leadership How can you demonstrate thought leadership on your issue in a highly visible way (e.g. showing primary research and insightful understanding of the root cause of the issue you’re tackling)? Activate Your Iconic Brand Element e.g. pink ribbons, yellow bracelets, designer scarves Set Specific Goals, Make Specific Asks Whether you’re looking for donations or volunteers, make sure your ask is as clear and simple as possible (e.g. we need 1,000 people to each make a $5 donation so that we can reach our goal of $5,000 by June 15 th in order to do X). Increase Transparency Does your audience know exactly where every dollar is going? Increase transparency, so people can see the monetary goals your organization is trying to reach (e.g. donation thermometer) and a clear path for where every penny goes (e.g. Komen pie chart). Kocek

Notes de l'éditeur
In fact, it has taken almost 30 years and hundreds of thousands of volunteers.
Survivor program is an important shift in the organization’s history. Given that the cure may be a long way off, it’s important to focus on positive news from the front lines. Also, survivors can help raise awareness while also being influencers due to personal experience. Originally, in 1990 survivors wore black and white buttons, but soon pink became the designated color. By 1999, 71% of American women 40 and older receive a mammogram – a third more than in 1989. African American advisor council is designed to support the breast cancer needs of the African American population and to help reduce their mortality rate, which is the highest of any ethnic group.
Of the 27 health organizations named to the “100 Best” list, Komen was one of only two solely focused on women’s health. 20 th anniversary Race series – largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world.
