I did my first webinar today for Blackbaud, who specialise in CRM systems and online CMS’s for not for profit organisations.
It was a quick, flash in the pan presentation on Digital Marketing Strategies and specifically how the digital world can add value, support and enhance the traditional fundraising efforts of charities and not for profit organisations.
It was a decent turnout with over 100 people staying until the very end of the presentation so I’m feeling pretty proud of myself just now.
I hope to hear from one of those not for profit organisations soon as I love working for the 3rd sector.
Here is the original version of the presentation I did – but it was too long and I had to cut it back.
There is a shorter version which you can find here:http://www.slideshare.net/ShanelleClapham/digital-fundraising-strategies-the-shorter-version
Fundraising through various activities as sales, silent auctions, walk-a-thons, races, or entertainment events is a popular revenue generator for charitable and non-profit organizations. However, quite a few obstacles exist in the pursuit of running a successful fundraiser, including lacking or overworked volunteers, limited payment methods, limited reach, and overall process inefficiencies.^”
