In 2005, I naively accepted an offer to run operations for a new nonprofit. I was always comfortable in technology, I was comfortable working with nonprofits. I love that I'm at the point in my career where I can pay it forward and help other nonprofit techies. What else did I need to know? I didn't have a clue. It adds up.

The NTC is the nonprofit technology conference. The sessions I attended were outstanding, and very easy to adapt to the way our small nonprofit can get more out of the tools we use. I already went to the Convio Summit and Salesforce Dreamforce conferences this fiscal year. I made a small personal donation to the fund.

It’s not about raising more funds, it’s about raising enough funds. Enough funds to win the small, measured victory and build towards the larger ones. This year, I think the watch word for smaller nonprofits will be: segmentation. The larger nonprofits seem to have it down pat. Convio Summit. Beth Kanter.
