    5 No-cost Webinars Show Nonprofits How to Generate Funds, Lower Costs

    Build your nonprofit’s revenue base and lower costs with practical tips from free Ventureneer webinars.

    New York, NY (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

    Nonprofits have realized that technology and new funding sources are critical to their survival. To help nonprofit executives understand the latest options and how they can help their organizations grow, Ventureneer is offering five free webinars, presented by experts in their fields, with practical, real-world tactics, not theoretical notions.

    Each webinar is a free, stand-alone class so nonprofit executives can take one or take them all. Each class lasts one hour.

    “Nonprofits have to look at new ways to generate funds and lower costs. That’s what we’re offering,” says Geri Stengel, founder of Ventureneer.

    •In Common Retirement Planning Mistakes of Small Business Owners and Nonprofit Execs, Financial Planner Jeanne Brutman will help nonprofit executives ask the right questions about their own retirement. They will learn to question common assumptions about money, financial planning, and investing to get a better grasp on their own financial stability.

    In this interactive webinar, presented on Monday, Feb. 6, from 2-3pm. ET, Brutman will alert nonprofit leaders to the host of errors that cause enormous stress and waste of time, money, and energy. It is a webinar designed to move nonprofit executives from “don’t want to talk about it” to “ready to make informed decisions.” It’s a good way to start the new year.

    •Low-cost, user-friendly, cloud-based customer management can streamline nonprofit operations, save money, and improve client services. On Tuesday, February 7, from 12n to 1 pm ET, Jason Hutchins, president of Nonprofit Solutions Network, returns with Put Your Customers, Clients on Cloud Nine with CRM. He’ll show how nonprofits can use Customer Relations Management (CRM) software to consolidate all the information needed about clients. They’ll also learn how CRM can improve staff access to the information each needs, whether in the field, in the office or working from home.

    •In Unlocking Your Nonprofit Board’s Full Potential, executive directors and board members -- especially board chairs! -- will learn how to build a strong, effective board through recruitment, improved communication, and better understanding of what the board’s job is.

    The free online seminar will be held Monday, February 13, 2012, 12n-1pm ET and presented by Dennis Miller, president and CEO of Dennis C. Miller Associates Inc., which specializes in strategic planning, organizational assessment, board and leadership development.

    Planned Giving for Small and Mid-Size Nonprofits will give board members, executive directors, and development staff a plain-language explanation of how estate and retirement planned gifts help build a nonprofit’s endowment and protects the future of its important work. Presenter Tony Martignetti, principal of Martignetti Planned Giving Advisors, LLC, will show nonprofit leaders how easy and how important it is to establish a Planned Giving program.

    The free webinar will be aired Thursday, February 16, 2012, from 12n -1 pm ET.
