Last year, I received a Convio/NTEN scholarship to attend NTC in San Francisco. I was always comfortable in technology, I was comfortable working with nonprofits. What else did I need to know?

It's been a little over a year since I fully deployed Convio Common Ground at the Colorectal Cancer Coalition. Afterwards, thanks to new upgrades from Salesforce aimed at developers like Convio, there was minimal configuration. Which brings me to the next great thing about Convio Common Ground: support. Still no regrets.

Amy VanWyngarden, Convio. You can expect to spend a year or more planning and executing a competitive event, but the rewards can be huge, as demonstrated by the success of the Colon Cancer Alliances’ “Undy 5000” event. Peer-to-peer fundraising events are growing in popularity - and rightfully so!

So I’ve tapped the Casanovas of Convio for a whole array of ideas for sweeping your donors off their collective feet. But we all know that you can’t build a relationship on one day of hearts and roses. You have to put in the work all year round if you and your honey are going to live the good life. The same is true for donors.
