<p>I had the great pleasure of being the special guest of <a href=”http://www.sandyrees.com” target=”_blank”>Sandy Rees, CFRE</a> on her <a href=”http://getfullyfundedsupport.com/” target=”_blank”>Get Fully Funded Support Club</a> call today.  We had an awesome discussion on how to utilize the many tools on the Internet for raising funds for nonprofit organizations.</p>
<p>Some of the topics we discussed were:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have an engaging and informative Website</li>
<li>Make it Easy for People to Donate</li>
<li>Utilize a Blog to stay connected to your donors more frequently</li>
<li>Keep the Blog short, simple and conversational</li>
<li>Develop an electronic newsletter/ezine</li>
<li>Do NOT make a PDF of your print newsletter and call it an ezine!</li>
<li>Take advantage of the wide world of Social Media</li>
<li>Use Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to promote events and accept donations.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sandy is a fundraising coach, speaker and master trainer and has a wealth of knowledge to assist nonprofits in reaching their fundraising goals.  She also has programs designed to engage nonprofit boards and manage a small nonprofit on a shoestring budget.</p>
