Online Success Strategies, Tools and Trade Secrets

Over the past decade nonprofit organizations have been inundated with Internet services and technology options. This session taught by Ted Hart , one of the world’s foremost experts on Nonprofits and the Internet will focus your organization on how it can integrate offline fundraising with online strategies. Content is based on content from the 5 books he has written on this topic. While nonprofit organizations continue to embrace the use of the Internet for a variety of purposes, the challenge most organizations face is how they can build upon their traditional direct mail, special event and other activities while not being an Internet expert themselves. Following the easy to understand guidance offered by Mr. Hart will help you begin your efforts or enhance what you have already started.
