Details
NetSquared and Global Giving join forces to
PIMP MY NONPROFIT
"Pimp my Nonprofit" is our regular bi-monthly brainstorm session. This time, we're helping Global Giving take their tech strategy and online communication efforts to the next level.
It's half brainstorming session, half case-study. During the conversation, everyone will have a chance to participate and learn vicariously from some of the leading technology and communications experts in DC. We encourage any consultants and geeks in the audience to show up and strut your stuff.
This month, we'll be pimping Global Giving.
Global Giving is 'intelligent' philanthropy - You choose the project you care about and give online, and your money goes directly to the project.
Join us April 15th to meet, swap stories and ideas, and build new relationships. Feel free to bring any promotional materials you'd like to hand out.
Note: Come at 7pm for drinks and mingling. The presentation begins at 7:30.

"great concept and way to get feedback." -

"Overall, it was a great event, although it could have been even better if it was moderated - the size of the group was such that the majority of the contributions were made by the dominant personalities in the room - not that their advice wasn't well-thought out and worthwhile."
Harry Seldom
"I voted "in the box" last night for two reasons: 1) there did not seem to be enough justification for 3 separate groups, and 2) breaking into groups presupposes that their premise of needing these three divisions was true when such a supposition may have been at the root of the problem and real "outside of the box" thinking means challenging the assumptions of the presenter at their core in order to present an angle of vision the presenter may not have considered. I think GlobalGiving was served far better by the open discussion then they would have been by breaking us into groups."
