Before I take you behind the scenes of our NTEN board fundraiser for Giving Tuesday , let me ask you to consider to a donation of any size to support NTEN and the Nonprofit Technology Conference Scholarship campaign. The photo above is from last year’s NTC. The NTEN Board Giving Tuesday Campaign. Can you spot me?

Volunteer at the NTC The NTC Scholarship campaign is one of our favorite times of year. We love the Scholarship program so much, we’ve done borderline humiliating things ( time and time again ) in the name of making the NTC feasible for a wider range of attendees. This year is no different.

There''s just one week left in 2014 and we need all of the help we can get to start next year on the right (and well-funded) foot to support scholarships, membership and program accessibility, and the quality content that makes this such an amazing community. Jon offered to match donations up to $2,500 but only for a quick 48 hours.

There's just one week left to fund the 2012 NTC Scholarship Campaign – so we need your help! That's why we work so hard every year to raise $10,000 to send staff from small nonprofits to the show. When you donate, you'll get a vote - a vote on which pop song the NTEN staff will rewrite and perform at the NTC.

Thanks to Convio and NTEN, the scholarship fund has generously covered the fees for 57 delegates to attend. Thus, I was left with two options: one, to let the award go; or two, put my creative brain to use and launch a campaign to raise the funds. Unfortunately, the scholarship did not include any air miles.

Fun and humor, used in the right way and in the appropriate context, can help boost your social fundraising campaign. A personal challenge typically issued as statement like "if we make our goal, I'll do or donate xyz" can also energize your campaign.
