Appreciation for GiftWorks Webinars June 21, 2010

Each month, the GiftWorks team sponsors an educational webinar for fundraisers, presented by some of the top talent in the sector. We have been thrilled to hear from many of you how much these webinars mean to you and your organizations.

We've decided to share three of the responses we received. I would like to thank Ellen Mowrer on the GiftWorks team for organizing these events; our expert friends who present critical, relevant information in such an interesting manner; and the thousands of people who take the time out of their busy schedules to improve themselves and their nonprofit organizations. Together, we can make a difference!

Best, Mary Pat

Thanks so much for the webinar “Developing Your Case for Support.” Once again, GiftWorks has provided a top notch educational opportunity. I will recommend GiftWorks to any organization that is considering purchasing or upgrading development software, in part because of the training you provide. I am sure there are other donor software programs out there that are good, but I am not sure they include high quality training opportunities like GiftWorks does. For that reason I feel your program stands apart from the others, and I will be happy to share the word.

Thanks for the follow up on the webinar. Linda did an excellent job with the content/presentation. I was very impressed with the professional nature of the session. You have obviously done these before. The audiovisuals and GoToMeeting connections were very well executed. I gained knowledge from the webinar, which should help us develop a stronger case statement for the Agency. I was on Linda’s site today and found more valuable material there. 

Sincerely,

Yesterday's webinar on the case for support was probably the most directly and immediately useful webinar I've ever attended. Very recently I became the first ED and sole staff person of a small nonprofit, and I have no prior direct experience. In an hour I went from a vague sense of how to approach creating our organization's first "case" to feeling like I can totally nail it.   GiftWorks' software, support and community are enormously helpful to me every day. Add the Ladakh region in northernmost Himalayan India to the list of places where you folks are making a difference. 

With much appreciation,
Scott

Love, LOve, LOVE the webinars. They have been extremely helpful, and the presenters are ALWAYS top-notch. In these economic times, when non-profits are struggling for donations, the FREE webinars have been a great resource to learn about new outlets, to provide a review of what works, and to share with others seeking answers to questions such as "how do we raise funds in these economic times?"
Plus, how convenient to participate from my office. Thank you!
