Today marks a milestone for Webconsuls' blog. Yes, today when I hit the "publish post" button you will be able to read our 501st blog post! Ironically today I want to introduce you to a new on-line community 501 Mission Place. Over the past year I have written a lot about my on-line friend Chris Brogan. I try to learn from Chris and I like to share what I learn with our clients and our readers. Yesterday Chris Brogan unveiled his latest project: 501 Mission Place. Chris said it best:
"I’m so very pleased to announce the launch of our first Human Business Works community and education project, 501 Mission Place. This community is geared towards non-profits and charities looking to improve their efforts. From fundraising to the use of new marketing tools to in-depth interviews with the people out there on the front lines doing successful things to grow their non-profits and charity projects, the goal is to give you the tools you need to thrive in this ever-changing economic situation, where funds are drying up at the exact moment that you need them most."Let's face it; we are all touched by not-for-profit 501c organizations. Whether you serve on a board, work behind the scenes as a volunteer, or benefit from their continued and varied efforts - eventually not-for-profit 501c organizations impact our lives.
If you have been fortunate enough to be intimately involved with a not-for-profit 501c organization, then you know how often you might ask: "What would be the best way to manage our fundraising?" It could be you have a new board, a young board, a tired board, needs that outweigh your current means, new regulations - the list goes on. How great would it be to know you have an on-line community with experts at the helm and fellow on-line community members who have a wealth of experience?
Do you know a not-for-profit 501c organization that could benefit from 501 Mission Place? I know I do and today I am going to personally reach out to our not-for-profit 501c clients and encourage them to visit 501 Mission Place.
What will you do?
judy, thanks for bringing us into the loop on 501 mission place. my husband has applied for the position of executive director of a non-profit. he would be fantastic in such a role and this site would be invaluable for him. good stuff!
ReplyDeleteJorja,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found this post. I think it is a great resource and if you go to 501 Mission Place is for Non-Profits and Charities you can see more about how it works inside!
