Free "Online Fundraising During a Recession" Webinar
Nov. 18, 2009 10:30-11:30 CST
sponsored by: Southwest Border Nonprofit Resource Center
This webinar shows how any nonprofit can develop and execute an Internet strategy to further its mission – during difficult economic times. This topic is presented with an overall theme of hope and opportunity, not doom and despair. We’ll examine how fundraising typically does not suffer as much as expected during a recession. We’ll examine Barack Obama’s recent presidential campaign, focusing on the many successful aspects of his online campaign. From there, we’ll extract a number of lessons we can learn as nonprofits.
We’ll examine how nonprofits are using the Internet, how they’d like to be using the Internet, and how they should be using the Internet (but may be unaware of) – and how to bridge that significant gap easily and quickly. You’ll learn how to drive more traffic to and fundraising through your site. We'll give specific suggestions on how you can improve your website so it will offer lots for your website visitors to SEE and lots for them to DO.
Each participant will be offered a free Internet Readiness Assessment (IRA) workshop, conducted at your site or by phone. The workshop examines the ways your nonprofit is using the Internet today and ways you should be using the Internet strategically to further your mission, and identifies a high-level plan to bridge the gap. The IRA workshop includes the rapid building of a powerful e-philanthropy prototype website incorporating much of your nonprofit's needed functionality.
