Our founders, and a number of our staff members, were formerly at Master Software – makers of Fund-Master. Master Software was the leading provider of fundraising software before it was purchased – and shut down – by Blackbaud in 1997. So they had a long history of working with nonprofits and helping them deal with the challenges of software. As a result of the BB purchase, they began to put together a new idea for delivering fundraising software as a “service”, and in 1999 introduced the first web-based application to the market. Today it has become readily adopted as a better way to deliver and manage software and is in use by over 5000 organizations around the world.

Web 1.0 = electronic brochure
Blackbaud has done this survey for about three years in order to provide a benchmark for the industry. Professionals from about 1,000 nonprofits responded to the survey this year. Questions for audience: This is a rhetorical question – how many of you have a Web site? Of those of you who have a site, who feel they are using it effectively? Who feels they are getting the most out of their site? Who wants to do more? This seems to be consistent with what I’m seeing in the market today. Higher Ed organizations in many ways tend to be a little more sophisticated in regard to the Internet than organizations in other nonprofit verticals The question is, if almost 90% of nonprofits feel the Internet is critical to their success, why don’t they all have an online strategy? What is keeping them from using the Web effectively?

Betsy - Explain what multi channel is and why Martha is good at it.
The ePhilanthropy toolbox suggests many techniques and tools for online success. Each organization should develop a strategy that is flexible to its current needs while planning for the future. Those seeking to get started are well advised to complete these four basic steps before they begin deploying an expanded ePhilanthropy strategy: 1. Establish an Informative Website – options should be shared for low cost ‘build it yourself’ approaches (i.e. http://www.homestead.com/nonprofits) and for selecting a web vendor to build a website. For most organizations the emphasis should be on building an informative website and not simply on spending a lot for all the ‘bells and whistles’. As their strategy grows and matures so should their website. 2. Collect Email Addresses and communicate with those who opt in – The ePhilanthropy Code of Ethics requires that nonprofit organizations only communicate electronically with those who ‘opt in’ or subscribe to receive such communication, it should also be noted that all such communication is also required to offer the reader the option to ‘opt out’ or unsubscribe to future communication. 3. Offer the option of online giving (encrypted) It should be noted that simply offering the option of online giving will not raise money, but the online architecture and encryption technology to support it must be in place before such a strategy can be deployed. 4. Register with Guidestar.org – As has been pointed out in this presentation registration with Guidestar serves several purposes: It gives the organization the opportunity to ‘tell its story’ using the free services of Guidestar, in a way more complete and reader friendly than the IRS 990. This will improve the information provided by Guidestar to a number of websites that use the database to promote giving to nonprofits (I.e. Fidelity’s Charitable Gift Fund, Networkforgood.org and others) Those nonprofits that submit grant proposals to Foundations are very likely to have their information on Guidestar reviewed by that Foundation, improved information could increase the chance of grant awards.

Your Internet strategy should incorporate everything from your online face (website), to your online communication (email), to your online giving (ecommerce), to the heart of your system – the database. When working with our eTapestry customers on an Internet strategy, we can happily tell them there is good news, and then there is better news. The good news is that we can take any one aspect and help them implement it. The better news is that we can make all the pieces work together in a coordinated, seamless fashion.
