people do beautiful things for god and their neighbors, however we have found the vast majority of impact is communicated face - to - face. granted sharing a message “word of mouth” is extremely powerful but wildly limiting, especially if only sharing with 1 person at a time. that’s why we started knok studio. while all churches and charities start in the grassroots (word - of - mouth) the next level of communication is video. video touches everyone; the introvert, the extrovert, the hipster in seattle, the north korean defector, volunteers, and donors. that’s why we started knok studio; to capture magnificent stories so the world may support more miracles. join or support our wild ministry .

in general good hairstylists are hard to come by in the south bay. in fremont alone i' ve tried several of the top rated yelp hairstylists and they were all lacking in one area or another. until one day i came across knack studio 18 and decided to give ben who runs the store a chance. lets just say he didn' t disappoint and i' ve been going to him ever since. his mens cut go for $ 37 not including tip but you definitely get what you pay for. give him a shot. stay fresh .
ben is the one of the best hair stylist in the south bay area. i' m very picky when it comes to my hair and not many can deliver the result i want. i stayed in nyc for 5 years and now 3 years in bay area, i tried dozens stylists from $ 20 to $ 200 per cut and i know exactly expensive! = quality, many stylists that graduates from famous fashion studio failed to deliver because of their ego and lack of communication, understanding of the customer, which happens to be ben' s strength. now i finally find ben here and i have nothing to worry when he is dealing with my hair. did i mention ben also does top class head massage ?
i have been going to ben for a little more than a year now. he is probably one of the most skilled hair stylist i met in the bay area. after i moved from ny to the bay area, i couldn' t find a stylist who was consistent in terms of working with my hair with reasonable price. before ben, i used to go to japan town for hair cut but even so, my hair didn' t always come out what i wanted and i paid much more. one day i saw someone mentioned knack studio 18 on facebook and i decided to give it a try. i felt a little skeptical at first thinking it was probably one of his friends recommending him online when the store first open, but i am glad i made the trip. i have since then become his regular customer and so does my husband. he is honest and friendly. i highly recommend him !

we do all of our service work in - house. our volunteers and staff essentially work with nonprofits to identify goals, demographics, etc. and then they go “into the field” and capture the stories as it happens. sort of “mini - documentary” style .
less than halfway down the portfolio page, my eye fell upon a clip for the mom & me mobile clinic, most likely because i am a mother to two daughters. this nonprofit needed a video to communicate to the world who they are and what they do. because this clinic is engaged in some seriously life - changing work that impacts entire families and futures. within the walls of a bright yellow truck that is equipped with all of the necessities, the clinic provides free medical services and treatment to mothers, fathers, and children. dale clark, their executive director, sets the stage with his own powerful story in the form of a memory .
the mom & me mobile clinic and their dedicated staff not only offer a convenient and quality space to feel healthy and safe, but they offer families hope. they are very special, so check out their short video, which, in a span of less than three and a half minutes, sheds some light on their identity and mission .
wow! what an amazing and kind write - up! keep up the awesome impact pamela (and team !), serving those who are serving. 🙂 all the best, - beau
first of all, your grow report is absolutely fantastic. it has not only educated me – it’s made me laugh too! not to mention, the personal side of it is so appreciated (especially since most of the reports i receive are so robotic and too serious – it’s enlightening to read something that presents valuable information in a fun way! who says fundraising and grant writing can’t be fun ?). so, thank you .
“you make it possible for me to get the best of what’s out there in one easy and fun shot every thursday morning – i just wish i had time to implement everything! thanks pam for your weekly words of wisdom. ”
i have to tell you that this book was amazing when i started my new job. it helped me craft my 30 - 60 - 90 day work plan. i would highly recommend it! ! !
thank you for your clear instruction and useful insight on writing grants. the webinar was very helpful and the materials you included with the course were excellent! ”
“i just wanted to drop you a line and thank you again for providing me with so much needed information. i have learned so much from you, and am so glad i got to meet you at the mna conference. ”
. it is one of the many nonprofit marketing and fundraising newsletters i receive. however, it is one that i can consistently count on for ah - ha moments .
last week, i received my first $ 100, 000 gift. i have such great stories to tell about the good work we do. it’s easy to be passionate when you’re doing what you love. i really received the reigns of the foundation in late october. since then, i have raised nearly $ 325, 000. my annual appeal was very successful. using your book, webinars, classes, etc. i am moving forward nicely !
the idea of a donor ‘welcome kit’ is awesome. i am going to implement many things – too many to mention. but i will say that sending out cards for other occasions is genius! how wonderful for donors to get a card on thanksgiving before the holiday rush. we have a great communication plan and i have a contact strategy, but your wow calendar gives me a great tool to merge the two. keep up the good work! thanks a million for the free book !
i always seem to come away with a few pearls to inspire me…and kick me into action. thanks !
“i loved this class (nonprofit storytelling | the basics & more)! ! especially the sections on video storytelling, week three mostly. one thing i can and already have put into practice in the importance of making daily phone calls just to say thank you to donors! what a great idea! and already as i plan video stories that i will be filming and interviewing for, i am using the dramatic arc of storytelling that we learned about all the way back in week one. thank you for this course, it has so man…
“as the new associate director of development at a not - for - profit senior retirement community, i was told that year - end giving was almost non - existent therefore, no real effort had been put into a campaign. the rationale was donors were bombarded with requests and we were always at the bottom of their list. taking cues from simple development systems (i purchased two years ago), i came up with a plan in mid - september and presented to my boss. her words were, ‘okay, what do we have to l…
“i’ve been working with fsfp to improve our donor communications to help our supporters better understand how vital they are to our mission, and you have been such a great help in this endeavor! not only did you give us fantastic language for our automated thank you, but, over the years, you have provided such great resources and insight, all of which has helped me to do my job better and guide the organizations i’m working for to be more donor - centered. ”
“yours is still the only npo related newsletter i read each week start to finish. i’m going to join your membership program since it looks like that would be a better investment of my resources than some places i’ve found. ”
pam’s rewrite of our recent annual appeal resulted in a 36% increase in gifts over last year’s. she also worked with us on our follow - up letters and those have already brought in 17 new donors !
i am new to fund development, stewardship giving and donations. the person i am replacing has been in the ceo / president role for 26 years. our donors are very tied to giving to her, not the cause. the first thing i started to do was to call each donor to thank them and introduce myself to them as each check came in. (we are very small !) i want them to get to know me and the work that we are doing. response has been wonderful. thank you for sharing your years of wisdom and insight. as a newbie…
i really appreciate the way you focus on small nonprofits with easy to digest info and tactics. i get really tired of most consultants and nonprofit sector pundits (do we have pundits ?) talking and making presentations as if everyone has a full development staff. thanks .
we’re excited to keep building on this success in the coming school year. ”
“i have thoroughly enjoyed and greatly benefited from all of the valuable classes you have offered! you are an amazing support for small nonprofits and i share your website with other nonprofit friends that i meet. ”
simple development systems is fantastic! i’m about to be a new ed and i am excited to lead the organization into a new era of donor centric activities .
thanks for all the information you continue to share; it’s invaluable to little nonprofits like us .
“i’m glad i took this course (monthly giving | basics & more) to help me really concentrate on our monthly giving program. it was there but not fully developed .
i did my first monthly giving solicitation in spring 2015 and i followed it up with an e - solicitation. we now have twenty more virginia history gems (give every month) over this time last year. ”
last week, i received my first $ 100, 000 gift. i have raised nearly $ 325, 000. my annual appeal was very successful. using your book, webinars, classes, etc. i am moving forward nicely !
“your book is incredibly helpful. i’ve started going through it and every page is filled with excellent advice and tips. some of the people you quote, like ken burnett i know personally. he has been kind enough to put some of my old work on sofii, i used to do fundraising and member recruitment for amnesty and about 17 years ago helped found the bhopal medical appeal. ”
“out of all the enews i receive, the grow report is the one that i can consistently count on for ah - ha moments. ”
i love how you do the research for us and post the best of the best. this is a tremendous help for those of us who are a one woman shop and don’t have the time. thanks !
you really cut to the “meat” of what it means to be small shop and you “get it” in a way that so many fundraising gurus don’t .
“last week, i received my first $ 100, 000 gift. i have such great stories to tell about the good work we do. it’s easy to be passionate when you’re doing what you love. i do not have any staff and my board has set a goal for me of $ 1 million by december 31, 2014. i really received the reigns of the foundation in late october. since then, i have raised nearly $ 325, 000. my annual appeal was very successful. using your book, webinars, classes, etc. i am moving forward nicely! as your emails alw…
“we hit our year - end fundraising goal and still have 2 weeks left! we implemented everything we learned in the webinars. feeling so proud — best $ 250 ever spent! ”
“i wanted to thank you for this course. i wanted to share that for the first time in our five years, we raised over 100k in program revenue and i think it was in large part due to this course and what i implemented. i need to look further, but program revenue for q42015 was 28. 7k. for q42016 program revenue was 42k! amazing! i will be back for more learning from you…thank you for serving those of us who feel called to bring hope to the world! ”
brooke f. sulahian, president & co - founder, hope for our sisters, inc .
“i’m so ready to go through this course again as it is terrifically timely. i love how the basics & more™ courses are organized. i always learn and i never feel patronized. i so appreciate you for that, of course, the knowledge you share is terrific and i love that i can immediately put it into practice. ”
pamela i really enjoy your weekly updates and blog. with a small budget and a smaller development budget you have truly made a difference in the nonprofit arena as we share your tidbits and highlights with our members. thank you .
“this is a great course for both novices and old hat fundraisers. pam brings in the top fundraisers of the day and even if you’ve been fundraising for a long time they will give you new ideas to add to your repertoire. the techniques you will learn will help you not only in your year - end but all year round. i highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to have the opportunity to learn from the best in a condensed and cost - effective way. ”
last fiscal year we had our best year ever. we reached out to lapsed donors and also segmented the database for our annual appeal. the result was a 15% increase in the number of supporters (i currently prefer the word ‘supporter’ to ‘donor’) who gave to our organization .

“i just purchased your year - end fundraising course and it’s incredible! and this is coming from a person who took seiu’s pac from 9. 2 million to 21. 5 million
i am newer to the development field (after a 20 year human resources run) and i find it rewarding and fascinating. your book helped me to feel good that i am putting my efforts into the right places. gratitude is the starting point of all generosity. i loved your calendar for stewardship and will use it to enhance my quarterly work plan efforts. i really enjoy your newsletter. thank you for all your efforts and good information .
i had great success with the last course i took with you. my first end - of - year appeal campaign (sent mid december, a 4 page letter and lots of ‘yous’ :) came in 38% higher than the previous year so far! and envelopes are still coming in. very exciting .
“and this is what i love about the simple development systems membership and your support for us — it makes us believe that we can do it and teaches us how to get started. we’re actually launching our first ever major gifts strategy in 2016, and i walked away from that webinar with a concrete plan of action that we are already starting to implement. i loved it — so thank you !

“simple development systems is amazing. i am so glad we signed up for it — it has been an incredible support for me and our development associate. we don’t have a senior development person — it’s just me on top of being executive director, and your program has had just the right approach for us. i feel like we are doing things more effectively and efficiently — the webinars, resources, newsletters / emails, it has all been terrific. i am recommending it to other folks right and left! ”
“i want to tell you that your programs are head and shoulders above others i’ve taken. thanks to your online fundraising masterclass, i have practically redesigned our website and communications based on all the valuable information. ”
you have embarked on a journey of saving lives. on behalf of all those whose lives you will touch … thank you !
“my basics & more membership was 100% worth the expense and time invested. after almost a year, it’s becoming second nature for me to write in a donor - centric way. there’s still a long way to go at my new job, but we’re in the process of recovering from years of non - communicative, self - centered, stingy treatment of donors and i can already see lapsed donors coming back, increased interest in volunteering and events, growth in our mailing list, and other positive signs. thank you! ! ”
“thank you so much for coming to montana yesterday. i learned so much from you and know i have the power to take this organization in a new direction and your workshop gave me inspiration to really follow through with fundraising efforts. ”
“i just wanted to thank you again for your help with our annual appeal. this year, we almost doubled the amount we have ever received from one appeal. amazing! ”
“i am so thrilled to say we are having an incredible year. typically, the first 6 months of our fiscal year are…tight (to say the least). however, we’re already about 60% of the way toward our total income goal for the fiscal year. thank you for all that you do. as i have navigated the vastly complex world of fundraising, you have been a steady, strong, and thoughtful guiding force. you’re my go - to guru! ”

“i signed up for probably a dozen online blogs and newsletters. yours is the only one to stay in my inbox! i feel it’s most relevant to me, my new role and our small organization. thanks for all the helpful information. ”
ho! ho! ho! it feels like christmas all over again, pamela. i am now holding a printed copy of a 57 page book packed with information about donor cultivation. this is supposed to be one of my “specialties” in the little pond in which i reside, but in just flipping through the book as it was printing, i saw several ideas that had not crossed my mind. i am reading and marking up the book tonight, so i can get started using your ideas tomorrow .
“your newsletter is still the only one i read top to bottom each week. in fact, in my new job it’s the first thing i read when i get in the office on thursdays. ”
“programs like yours take some of the fear away and remind me that all progress is incremental and i just have to take it step by step .
thank you so much for being there with the information that i need when i need it. you do important work and i appreciate you very much. what you do makes a big difference in the world by empowering people like me to reach our potential and help our communities. ”
is absolutely easy to use, easy to understand and covers all of the topics i’ve had to self - teach myself in an organization with no dedicated development staff .
“i get so many emails…. . yours is one of the few that i try to read from beginning to end and even click on many of the links for more information and inspiration. ”
“warm, personal, real…love that you do the legwork to read the blogs and pass along the best. i’m not really in a “small shop” but since i train our 900 campus staff to do fund development the different approaches and ways to communicate the basic stuff in a new way is really helpful. ”
thank you for always providing helpful, inspiring content. it makes this job so much easier knowing we’re not doing it alone !
“i’m loving the power of thank you modules. being new in my organization, i’ve been wanting to re - vamp thank you letters and going through this e - course is spurring me on to get it done. thank you for your enthusiastic coaching and for your encouragement to focus on donors! ”
i just wanted to let you know how useful i found your “thank you” webinar with pamela grow in early december. i realized how many mistakes we were making in acknowledging our donor’s generosity. the best part was many of pamela’s suggestions were so easy to implement it didn’t create a big project for us (always a plus). thank you for offering the webinar – it was one of my faves so far .
you make it possible for me to get the best of what’s out there in one easy and fun shot every thursday morning – i just wish i had time to implement everything! thanks pam for your weekly words of wisdom .

“i am really loving your poty course, and finding it so useful. thank you so much. it has such great material. i am busy re - writing our online thank you letters. our physical letters are great, handwritten etc. , but our email ones were bad. i had never even checked them! i took your great advice, and gave ourselves a donation, and saw what happened. one system had a good thank you, the other didn’t. thank you so much for making us think about this. it is so good to study something and instan…

ambitious and independent, we millennials are defined by no one but ourselves. now please love us
the authors argued that young millennials — those born between the early' 80s and the early 2000s — would be a heroic counterweight to selfish baby boomers. they would have
a new focus on teamwork, achievement, modesty and good conduct
and would lead a
can - do youth revolution .
they' d rebel, yes, but against individualism and cynicism .
two years after the book was published, an australian kid took a drunk tumble down some steps at a friend' s 21st birthday party, his front teeth gouging his lip .
i had a hole about 1 cm long right through my bottom lip ,
he wrote, posting a self - taken photo of stitches on an online message board .
and sorry about the focus, it was a selfie .
his self - photo was cited as one of the earliest known uses of
selfie
when oxford dictionaries honored the expression as 2013' s word of the year .
and as of today ,
selfie
far more readily sums up millennials than the hopes of howe and strauss .
time magazine used the image of a young woman gazing adoringly at her own selfie to illustrate its
me, me, me generation
cover story last year. the article roasted millennials as narcissistic, lazy and naive — spoiled by participation trophies, coddled by parents and hypnotized by technology .
but we millennials don' t like to be defined by others. kids these days don' t like
kids these days
essays. we hit back against time magazine with our weapons of choice: rants, memes and photoshopped pics, slamming our elders for failing the environment and the economy .
all millennials, you see, despise generalizations. we don' t see our generation through polling averages, with their standard deviations and margins of error. we see it as a collage of 87 million self - portraits, in some senses more individualistic than ever .
hence selfies: no photographer, no fancy camera, no middleman. just a smartphone, and maybe a mirror. we choose whether to flex, pout or raise one eyebrow, and we choose when to snap and where to upload. you call it narcissism; we call it control over our own image. we want the freedom to tell our individual story, then process it through our own instagram filter .
then we' ll post it everywhere, and beg for you to like it, praise it, love it .
it' s not simple narcissism that drives millennials to write their own narratives: it' s that the old script has been shredded .
i — like a typical millennial, i' m putting myself in the story — know the old script well. i grew up in the american dream: middle class in north spokane suburbs, with a hoop in the driveway, a grill in the backyard and wiffle ball games in a nearby sandlot .
my dad was 23 when he got married and bought a house. at 26, he had me, his first kid .
today, i' m 28 — no kids, no wife, no house, no hoop, no grill. but i' m not alone. by traditional metrics of success, we millennials are floundering: we' re unemployed and unmarried. we don' t own houses or fancy cars. a quarter of millennial men between 25 and 29 still live with their parents .
there' s a darn good reason we' re slow to pursue the classic american dream: we saw it burn down the economy .
we saw carnival barkers promise big houses with big patios and big lawns that could be all be yours — just sign here on the dotted line, no job, no money, no credit, no problem. the market would only go up, up, up, they proclaimed, so you' re just a flip away from something even bigger and better. we saw mad scientists in brooks brothers suits cobble together crazy financial mechanisms to generate wealth from thin air, devices they barely understood but were sure that, barring a freak lightning strike, couldn' t possibly go wrong .
then lightning struck: the housing market, overbuilt and oversold, exploded, and took the economy down with it .
you can' t talk about millennials without considering that seismic context: it' s tough to get a job when there aren' t any. it' s tough to buy a house when you' re unemployed. it' s tough to have kids when you' re flat broke .
and we' re hesitant about piling on more debt. until recently, leigh - anne kelly, 31, sold cars at a spokane subaru dealership: when she did see millennials, which wasn' t often, they came cautiously and put up big down payments. she' s the same way, preferring her old car to a new one from the dealership .
i am proud of not having a car payment ,
kelly says .
i got hell from my co - workers for not diving into debt immediately .
for millennials, the american dream hasn' t just become harder to achieve, it' s become less appealing. in six years, homeownership rates for those under 35 plummeted, from 41 percent to 36 percent .
i see the older generation, they want to get right back after it, and rebuild their wealth ,
says kolby schoenrock, 26, a local property appraiser and windermere real estate agent. but he says that' s not the case with younger buyers .
they' re looking for something smaller, more cozy, more functional, cheaper to maintain ,
he says .
what they' re pinning on their pinterest is cool and small, versus big and gaudy .
at a journalism class at my alma mater whitworth university, i ask a group of freshmen what house they want someday. their visions vary: something out in the country with a barn and a wraparound porch. a downtown condo. anything within their means, a few suggest, so they don' t risking losing it .
this is, like, super weird ,
18 - year - old andrew goodwin says .
i want to live in a really poor neighborhood of a big city .
it' s an opportunity, he says, to live beside people in poverty and empathize with them .
for millennials, money is a devalued currency .
money is not the great motivator anymore ,
says bill haas, a national business consultant. job promotions don' t seem to matter much either. nor do appeals to tradition or process .
chris reilly, 31, founded aezy, an online marketing firm headquartered in spokane' s kendall yards .
for many products and services, not pursuing millennials is the best strategy ,
reilly says .
they' re looking for things that are genuine in a world full of — to use the holden caulfield term —' phonies.'
there is, however, still a currency that motivates us — something even more foundational than money: we want to be liked .
beau chevassus had one viral video featured on torihada! scoop! , a japanese tv show, with this animated intro .
the video clip relies on a classic comedic formula: anticipation followed by unexpected escalation. a shaggy - haired guy slips on a scream mask and hides under a desk. a second guy, complete with american flag pants, unsuspectingly sits down at the computer. when the masked man leaps out, the prank victim screams, frantically throws his computer printer through a window and leaps out .
that frightened man is beau chevassus, 28. he and i pulled pranks on gonzaga university back when we were at whitworth. but far more than me, he' s lived the millennial dream: he' s been internet famous .
the video was staged for a viral video contest. he was flooded with tv studios wanting to license the clip. by 2012, it had made a tv show in japan; torihada! scoop added an animated intro, colorful japanese subtitles and absolutely delighted picture - in - picture audience member reactions. today, chevassus' prank video has 7 million views .
then there was chevassus'
world' s most expensive starbucks drink
video ($ 47. 30, with 48 shots) that earned shout - outs from diane sawyer and time magazine. a follow - up video — where he orders a massive custom burger (20 patties, rounds of bacon, a foot high, dubbed
the kraken
) at a jack in the box drive - thru — drew calls from franchises considering the kraken for their own menus .
it felt good, waking up in the morning and having a ton of comments ,
chevassus says .
this may sound very, very selfish... . the fame part of it, getting a half - million views overnight, that gets my heart going .
i know what he means. there have been occasions when i' m feeling down and then one of my one - liner quips about a tv show gets shared by someone famous, flooding me with notifications of favorites, retweets and replies. in that moment, in a small way that i know is silly, i' m tinkerbell — killed when you say you don' t believe in me, resurrected when you applaud me .
that' s how some savvy marketers have managed to reach millennials, says reilly, the online marketer. they don' t pander to millennials, they get millennials to pander to themselves. they offer points, badges, awards and swag, rewarding millennials for pushing out the company' s marketing message .
it dictates everything — the apps that we get, the music that we listen to, the cars that we drive — to be affirmed ,
chevassus says .
millennials hardly invented that craving for affirmation. but these days we can actually measure it with quantitative figures: likes, retweets, reddit upvotes. affirmation comes in tiny dopamine hits: every

pops up like a red siren. important: you are loved. you are connected .
in the shallows: what the internet is doing to our brains, nicholas carr argues that the reward offered on the internet doesn' t just fill need, but also creates it. it
turns us into lab rats constantly pressing levers to get tiny pellets of social or intellectual nourishment.
