Online Seminars
Welcome, MNA Members!
Idealware seminars are designed to give you the tactical advice you need to make software decisions. They include all the candid advice and product comparisons of the reports and articles on which they are based, but offer lots of extra guidance and insights straight from the author - and each is capped at 25 participants, so you'll have lots of opportunity to ask questions and get just the information you need.
All you need is an internet connection and a phone line to participate.
By special arrangement through the National Council of Nonprofits, these seminars are available to all members of state nonprofit associations for 15% off the regular price, at only $34 per participant.

There's a lot of talk these days about social media - blogs, RSS, podcasts, YouTube, Flickr, Del.icio.us, social networking, MySpace, Facebook, oh my!

We'll provide a hype-free lookat at how social media tools and techniques can fit into your online communications mix, how to make they work for you, and some examples of what other organizations are doing.

Do you want to help your organization take donations online, but aren't sure how? This session will tell you what you need to know in order to choose a tool and get started. We touch on some of the strategic aspects of online donations, but our focus is on the tactical: What online donation tools are available? How do they work? How do you know which one is right for your organization? We close by looking more closely at some of the specific tools that are available, such as Network for Good, PayPal, Click & Pledge, Groundspring DonateNow, eTapestry, MemberClicks, AuctionPay, and more.
