Webinar: Effective Internet Strategy For Your Nonprofit
Date: Thursday, October 17th
9a.m. or 2p.m. - limit 15 participants/event.
This seminar shows how any nonprofit can develop and execute an Internet strategy to further its mission. 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.

What is a Webinar?
Webinars are web seminars used to conduct live presentations over the Internet. In a web conference, each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants via the Internet. This may consist of either a downloaded application on each of the attendees’ computers or a web-based application where attendees simply enter a website address (URL) to enter the conference.
Webinars include a presenter speaking over a standard telephone line, pointing out information being presented on screen with the audience responding over their own telephones. The web conferencing technology we use (ReadyTalk) incorporates the use of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) audio technology, to allow for a truly web-based communication with no long-distance phone charges to the attendee.
