Online Meetings & Webinars

Collaborating on documents, sharing files, instant messaging, web conferencing, task lists and project management are all examples of ways you can use technology to improve your collaboration and productivity in your nonprofit. These things are important because they help you save time on the things you don’t want to be doing (searching through your email for files, travelling from place to place, etc.) and spend more time on what matters.

Online seminars, or webinars, are a dynamic, engaging way to convey information to a geographically dispersed audience on a budget. If your nonprofit faces an ongoing need to share information long-distance but has limited education and travel funds, webinars can help you save money --- and reduce your carbon footprint --- while providing a valuable service to your constituents.

Even if your nonprofit is headquartered in a single location, your employees, volunteers, and funders may be scattered across the country — or possibly the world. And while your organization likely uses email or telephone for the majority of its long-distance communication, sometimes a full-blown meeting is the only way to hammer out the details of an important initiative.
