The end of the year is approaching and it is time to write those email messages to ask for donations. To help you meet the December 31 deadline, Aspiration is offering a no-cost online seminar “Email Newsletters for Fundraising.”

The hour long discussion will be lead by participants’ needs.

We had a fabulous time with the many amazing folks who attended the First-Ever California Nonprofit Technology Festival in Fresno, California generously funded by the California Consumer Protection Foundation.

From online mapping to email newsletters to building a simple website, we focused on crowd-requested topics and created real time breakout sessions where people could get their questions answered as well as connect with others.
