Posted by Jorge LeClair in I am pleased to announce that I have been invited to present a workshop on developing funding strategies for technology projects for the My Charity Connects Conference taking place on June 8 and 9 2009 at Mars Discovery District in Toronto.
My Charity Connects is a conference put on by Canadahelps.org – Canada’s premier fundraising web service which simplifies online fundraising by allowing individuals to donate to charities of their choosing through Canadahelps.org. The conference will bring together over 250 non-profit leaders as well as marketing professionals who will learn and share ideas about using technology to achieve social change. Comprised of 4 keynotes and 25 workshops on various “philanthropy 2.0” topics including social networking, online fundraising campaigns, e-newsletters and blogs, attendees will walk away with decision making tips, best practices, new ideas and a greater sense of return on investment.
My Charity Connects is part of Net Change Week – a week long city wide event put on by Mars Discovery District designed to dissolve the divide between digital professionals and social change-makers. Information about other exciting Net Change Week events can be found at http://netchangeweek.ca
My Charity Connects conferences fees are: $250 (+$12.50 GST) for Ontario based charities and nonprofits and $375 (+$18.75 GST) for charities and nonprofits based outside of Ontario. The difference in price is due to the fact the Ontario Trillium Foundation is supporting Ontario based non-profits by subsidizing $125 towards the conference fee.
