What Non-Profits Need to Know Now About Online Tools and Social Media

    WILMINGTON, DE, December 03, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Non profit organizations are being hit hard by the economic downturn. However, according a survey conducted by the Center for Nonprofit Advancement, the services these non profit organizations provide are in high demand. Non-profits need to learn effective methods to grow their communities, attract volunteers and increase funding to counteract the significant declines since 2008.

"While the economy has certainly played a role in the declining contributions to non-profits, many are behind the mark in creating online communities to counteract these losses," said Ms. Brinkley Potts. "It's time that non-profits start utilizing the online and social media tools. These low cost methods could mean the difference in finding the funds to help with the overwhelming demand for services."

In collaboration with What's Your Inspiration Inc.'s D.O.V.E - Director of Visionary Events, Andrea Brown Clarke, Tina has created a very special training event to help non-profits get their online communities thriving. On December 16, 2011, from 6pm until 10 pm, this event will show the power of several online and social media tools and how to use them effectively in non-profit organizations.

"I will demonstrate these powerful underutilized tools as well as give a customizable blueprint that the non-profits can begin using immediately," said Ms. Brinkley Potts. "You can attend in person to actually see all of the technology at work or you can attend online. Whichever way you attend, you will still get the complete blueprint. If a non-profit is struggling with fundraising or reaching volunteers, these tools are a must in today's Internet world."
