Forty Ways to Maximize Fundraising Through Your Web site Audioconference
Presenter: Allan Pressel
Location: Benedict College Business Development Center- Room 127
2601 Read Street, Columbia, SC
(corner of Two Notch Road and Read Street, across from athletic stadium)
Your website has two strategic objectives – first, to inform the website visitor about your organization and its mission, and more importantly, to garner support for your nonprofit. Learn how to plan and build a site which not only has a lot for the user to see, but a lot for the user to do as well. Consider the impact of a site that offers online donations, event tickets, membership dues, e-store purchases, affiliate marketing, even in-kind donations, planned gifts, investment donations and much more.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants will:
- Know which fundraising transactions and information to include in your website – and how to easily incorporate them in your site (or build a new site)
- Understand innovative techniques for maximizing the fundraising results you achieve with your website -- many of these techniques are easy to implement (and free or low cost)
- Hear e-philanthropy case studies whose lessons they can apply to their own nonprofit and its website
Target Audience
- All levels – including executive directors/CEOs, board members, development directors, volunteer directors, IT directors, website administrators, other senior management
About the Presenter
Allan Pressel is founder and CEO of CharityFinders, which helps nonprofits use the Internet to further their mission. Allan was named as one of the world's leading e-philanthropy experts by the ePhilanthropy Foundation. He was given the Volunteer Service Award by President George W. Bush.

Looking for Ways to Reduce Your Unemployment Tax Obligation (webinar)
[ID#2608] |
Date:
7/23/2009
Time: 10:30am
Location: webinar
Are you looking for Ways to Reduce your Unemployment Tax Obligation. Check out this SCANPO Member Benefit Program.
Nonprofits typically have fewer unemployment claims than the private sector; therefore, they often subsidize the state unemployment fund by paying more than necessary. Federal and state laws allow 501(c)(3) organizations to reimburse the state unemployment fund, rather than pay the UI tax in advance of having actual claims. FNC’s unemployment programs may well reduce your unemployment costs if you currently participate in the state tax system, and can provide you with a safety net if you have already chosen the reimbursable option.
Participation in FNC programs provides:
- Fixed annual cost
- An interest-bearing, proprietary reserve account owned by the nonprofit
- Stop Loss insurance to minimize or eliminate your risk in the event of catastrophic layoffs
|
- Claims representation in unemployment hearings and audits
- Access to training and services that can decrease the number of invalid claims
- No pooling or shared risk
|
A quote from FNC is free with no obligation to join their program, so you have nothing to lose! As an added bonus, current SCANPO members receive a 20% discount on the one-time enrollment fee. For more information about the program or quote contact Beth Singletary at 803-929-0399 or beth@scanpo.org.
The seminar will consist of a phone conference and online presentation. Your registration confirmation will include directions on how to dial and log in to participate. To register send your name, organization and contact information to Chris Roberts at 312-648-0325 or via email at croberts@firstnonprofit.com.
