Also, shared learning among people of different cultures benefits our communities by promoting mutual respect and understanding. ELP is New Zealand’s largest not-for-profit organisation working with migrants and refugees from 23 locations around the country. As an organisation they say they have tended to be late ITC adopters.

It takes a whole organisation to deliver on a corporate sponsorship strategy. It doesn't matter whether you are a Board Member, CEO or the fundraiser for your Not-For-Profit - everyone has a role to play in creating and implementing a successful sponsorship program.

To run a successful business with reliable IT and ongoing confidence that this technology will continue to support your business is an important factor. It makes sense to engage with an organisation that has a solid understanding of today's technology and an organisation that knows the true meaning of support and supply of knowledge. iTEASPOON the company you need to talk with.

Download slides here Office 365 now the most common platform for communication in the NFP sector in Australia and New Zealand. However, most organisations aren’t leveraging the broad suite of applications that are available (mostly for free) for NFPS. This webinar will explore the various applications of Office 365 and considerations for what components are suitable for each purpose and their benefits based on the experience of other not for profit organisations.

Download slides here Volunteer drop-off rates and mis-matching skillsets with charity tasks are just a couple of examples of why the volunteer recruitment process can be time-consuming and frustrating. New technology can drastically improve volunteer matching systems to easily identify the best candidate for every charity requirement. This can mean that every requirement is completed on time, to an exceptionally high standard, and also ensure that the volunteer is effectively aligning their skills and passions with the causes that matter most to them.

Are you new to sponsorship in the charity sector? Perhaps you’ve been around for a while and you've suddenly found yourself in a role where you've been asked to get sponsors and feel a bit out of your comfort zone? Or, you might just be curious about dipping your toe in that water with corporate sponsors! Either way, this webinar is for you. Some organisations feel embarrassed that they’ve never seriously explored sponsorship before, but I say, that is PERFECT!  It means that you’ve developed no bad habits, you have not unwittingly turned away ‘low hanging fruit’ (those brands that might be interested in supporting your cause), and mostly, you haven’t wasted precious time creating outdated bronze, silver, gold proposals when you could have been doing things that actually get you closer to engaging great partners.

Print and email newsletters can be compelling communication tools to connect with your volunteers, partners, donors and emerging supporters. They can build reputation and drive change. However, they can also put readers to sleep or end up looking elsewhere for that connection. Copywriter Andrea Rowe opens her toolbox to share practical examples to evolve your newsletter or EDM so that it’s a positive experience your readers look forward to reading and acting on. What will you get out of this webinar? Tips on writing audience and donor focussed copy Insights into outcome-oriented headlines and powerful calls to actions Examples of newsletters with storytelling formats that cut through Take away exercises to identify content, and to keep supporters in the spotlight Attendees of this webinar will also receive a copy of Andrea’s “Essential elements of effective newsletter writing” mini-booklet.
