Many nonprofits struggle with collaboration and coordination. Paired with the recent shift to remote work, it's making already stressful situations feel dire. Tight collaboration is more critical now than ever before as nonprofits try to achieve their missions, provide relief, and support their communities while grappling with an abnormal situation on top of it all. Luckily, nonprofits can harness technology to unlock the power of their teams in pursuit of advancing their missions — no matter where those teams may carry out their work. From coordinating content creation for digital marketing channels to generating more development pipeline and increasing engagement with donors, Asana can help nonprofits get more mission critical work done. How? We'll show you. In this webinar, you'll hear how Young Survival Coalition and Stand.earth are using Asana, a work and project management platform, to better plan, manage, and execute the critical work they do. You'll see a demo of how Asana can improve your organization's collaboration at HQ, in the field, and everywhere in between. There will also be time for a live Q&A to go even more in-depth.

Agenda

8. The world has changed
“Organizations around the world are adapting to new ways of working together
while being physically apart. Many teams are navigating the unique challenges
related to the rapid move to remote work, in some cases for the first time. Teams
need confidence and clarity in their work, and platforms that foster
collaboration are essential ways teams are staying aligned, organized and
connected so they can continue working towards their most important goals. It
goes without saying that this shared experience will serve as a catalyst to bring
teams closer together.”
- Dustin Moskovitz, CEO of Asana

3. Improve cross-department communication to make it easier for employees to
share their workload and complete cross departmental projects efficiently
