Intro to Crowdfunding for Nonprofits @ Webinar
Feb 26 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Kickstarter may be the biggest dog in the crowdfunding world, but nonprofits have raised small amounts of money from large groups of people since the first collection plate was passed. What’s new is five specific elements that make a fundraising effort a crowdfunded campaign, and often brings more success to the nonprofit which engages all five principals in the right Internet tool.

Join Steve Boland, Managing Partner of Next in Nonprofits, for a primer on what makes a successful campaign, and how your nonprofit can take the next steps to bring this new option to bear for your mission.

Using Specialized Contractors in the Gig Economy @ Saint Paul RiverCentre
Mar 7 @ 3:30 pm – 4:45 pm

This session is part of the MCN Communications and Technology Conference. Participants must register for the conference in order to attend.

Many nonprofits need access to specialized knowledge workers, but don’t have the budget or workload to justify hiring those skills as permanent staff. Solutions can be short-term gigs, outsourced contracts, or retainer agreements. How does a nonprofit work effectively with a consultant or contractor for specialized communications and technology needs? Three local consultants — two experienced in the field, one recently launched — share tips and recommendations for maximizing the opportunities of gig work while minimizing risk. Results of a qualitative research project gathering wisdom from local organizations will also be shared. This is a future-facing presentation equipping organizations to anticipate the full development of trends we are already starting to see.
