Wegner CPAs & Consultants Non-Profit Roundtable - Madison Marketing as the Key to Survival for Non-Profit Organizations At a time when non-profit organizations have increasingly scarce resources, it's more important than ever to become marketing-savvy. Marketing can help non-profits better understand the needs of the people they serve, improve employee recruitment and retention, fundraise more effectively, reach out to more people, obtain tangible proof of how effectively they live up to the mission--and more! As a result, marketing should not be a marginal activity, but a strategic tool that allows non-profit organizations to thrive. If you wonder why many non-profit organizations have been unable to capitalize on their marketing efforts, and how they can they turn the tide, this is one roundtable you can't afford to miss!

Division of Continuing Studies at UW-Madison "Staff and Board Partnership for Success in Major Gift Fundraising" The workshop will be held from 8:30-3:30, Thursday, March 25 at the BishopO'Connor Catholic Pastoral Center, 702 S High Point Road in Madison.
Attention Executive Directors, Development Officers and Board Members! Fundraising via email requires an understanding of a number of different elements - designing an email campaign, writing an email, avoiding spam filters, broadcast email tools, online donation tools, and more. We'll walk through what you'll need to know to design your own email fundraising campaign. More info/to register. WNA members: use your special Members-only registration link to receive a discount.
Online donors can be summed up with a phrase that would make an excellent soap opera title: The young and the generous. They tend to be under 40 and their gifts are around $100. Obviously, we want more donors like them. They account for most of our acquisition, and they are a leading source of new revenue for most nonprofits. The trick is getting online donors to stay once they give. In a study released in 2009, Target Analytics found they have lower retention rates than offline donors. And when they do give again, which roughly a quarter do, according to the study, it may not be online but often offline.
What better way to learn about online seminar (webinar) tools than via an online seminar? We’ll talk about the features that can help you conduct meetings or trainings over the Web – desktop sharing, slide shows, chat functionality, polls, voice conferencing, and more. Then we look at some of the free and affordable options, such as Glance, DimDim, Yugma, GoToMeeting, ReadyTalk, and Adobe Connect. We’ll close with some tips and tricks about conducting training via the web. This workshop is #4 of 6 in the Nonprofit Leadership Certificate Series from UW-Eau Claire Continuing Education. Register for some or all of the workshops. Nonprofit Board Development & Management Examine the roles and responsibilities of staff and board members in nonprofits, and the relationship between the nonprofit executive and Board. Discussion topics will include recruiting, training, managing and engaging board members, understanding and elevating the mission/vision, fiscal responsibility and stewardship, board structure and the role of committees, risk management, and conflict management.
