Get Fundraising Tips at a NetSquared Community Event

Fall has arrived, and with it comes fundraising season! More than one-third of charitable giving happens in the last three months of the year, and the emergence of #GivingTuesday makes the year's end even more critical for charities. Feeling overwhelmed? Your local NetSquared group is here to help with free, in-person events being held across the U.S. and the globe.

Orlando's October event explores donation platforms for Giving Tuesday, and in Vancouver, the focus will be on creating effective matching donation campaigns. San Francisco is taking a high-level view with its Tech and Philanthropy panel. These are just some of more than 40 events scheduled for October.

Not a fundraiser? NetSquared organizers are also offering hands-on Office 365 workshops this fall to help small nonprofits set up email with their own domain name. So far we've scheduled events in Kenya and Uganda, and will be adding more cities throughout the fall. If you're not ready to migrate to Office 365, you can learn more at TechSoup's free one-day forums. RSVP now for the events in Chicago, Dallas, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.

Upcoming Events

This roundup of face-to-face nonprofit tech events includes meetups from NetSquared, NTEN's Tech Clubs, and HandsOn Tech. If you're holding monthly events gathering the #nptech community, let me know and I'll include you in the next community calendar. Or you can apply today to start your own NetSquared group.
