Non-Profits Get Wired
The Internet is an excellent tool to communicate your vision to the largest audience. Unlike traditional methods of addressing large numbers of people, the Internet allows constituents to respond to your message through input and donations.
The Challenge
Fundraisers and charitable organizations are finding it increasingly challenging to meet their funding goals. Increased competition, changing economies, globalization and demanding donor accountability has led many organizations to seek innovative solutions to fund and manage their visions.
You must reach more people and reduce expenses, while increasing accountability and creating effective management systems for your fundraising programs. Developing solutions to meet these needs will ensure your success.
The Opportunity
Integration of Internet technology into your communication, funding and management systems provides solutions to meet these challenges. Though technology cannot replace traditional fundraising efforts, it can enhance those efforts and make them more cost effective.
Remember, Internet technology is a tool to communicate. Done properly – your communications can be personal and effective. Marketed properly, your organization will be invited into many homes and offices worldwide.
The Internet gives you the ability to reach a large audience at the most affordable cost. Internet usage is growing worldwide. Today there are nearly 600 million Internet users worldwide.
Once you are invited in to someone’s home or office, your message must
be clear and compelling to encourage them to read further, get involved and
want more information.
Your website will communicate your vision 24/7 (24hours per day – 7 days a week).
- Individuals account for the largest percentage of charitable donations (75.8%). It is clear that this is one of the most crucial audiences to communicate your mission.
- Corporations and foundations can read more about your mission, track your progress and find ways they can help. With more information, foundations and corporations are more likely to sympathize with your vision and take action.
Accomplish all this with technology at a fraction of the cost of traditional labor-intensive methods.
