Recruiting and retaining donors is a high priority and a significant challenge for every nonprofit. New donors contribute new energy as well as dollars to your cause—but soliciting new donors is an expensive and time-consuming proposition. And, while it’s cheaper to retain an existing donor than find a new one, even the most creative organizations can struggle with the effort to keeping ongoing appeals to this group fresh while staying on message. At this webinar you’ll get an inside look into how two nonprofits succeed at attracting new donors and keeping existing ones excited and committed to participation and giving.

In this wired society, the Web is mission-critical for advancing your cause, promoting your programs, and driving donations. Web-based opportunities for promotion, education, and fundraising are seemingly endless. However, to time-and-resource-constrained nonprofits, this endless opportunity is both a blessing and a curse.
How do you determine what Web initiatives will work best for your cause? How much time, money and effort should be spent on Web-based initiatives? What resources are required? What tools and sites should you leverage? What social networking sites will help you the most? What can you expect to get from your investment? This webinar will answer those questions and more.

The noise created by the proliferation of Web-based promotional tools is so loud that many non-profits can’t hear themselves think – much less determine their online fundraising strategy and tactics. Even free tools require an investment in training and program development and maintenance.
What criteria should you use to help you decide which Web tools or social networking site you should leverage? Once you decide, what are the next steps? And, after you launch a Web-based program, what’s required for maintenance? This webinar will address these issues from a strategic and a tactical perspective.

Peer-to-peer fundraising takes place when social network members promote a cause to their network and solicit donations and other support for that cause from other members of that network.
