What’s Hot, What’s Not: 2009 Edition

*Major-event fundraising
Nonprofits always have included events in their development strategies. They’re a great way to bring the most loyal donors together and make giving a fun, community function. The introduction of the Internet and peer-to-peer event-management tools has made it easier to host larger, broader-based events, such as countrywide walk-a-thons. Technology not only has made it easier to host these events, but it also allows nonprofits to be more effective with outreach efforts. By taking your major event online, you can achieve greater reach and ultimately raise more money and awareness for your organization.
