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.

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?
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.

the advance email can assure people that the calls are legitimate—unfortunately in our world today there are too many people looking to benefit by taking advantage of the generosity of others. Be up front about your calling campaign!
Database- email integration allows you to query on specific groups and target your communication to them. You wouldn’t send this to your entire database, but if you didn’t send it to that group of individuals ready for renewal---- you’re leaving money on the table!
Unsubscribe option is huge!

All statistics from 2004 Avg. gifts based on testing by IATS system (processed 1,000 nonprofits’ transactions in 2004) I suspect online gifts tend to be larger because they are usually credit card gifts – it doesn’t hurt the pocket as much as taking money out of a wallet or writing checks – both of which I hate
