In this workshop we will introduce you to the Nonprofit Internet Startup Kit, which features dozens of free and online tools available to help your non-profit organization further its mission and succeed online. We will discuss how you can integrate your database of constituents with your website using Salesforce and Plone, a popular open source content management system. With these tools, you can use your website to capture critical information about your constituents and provide self-service tools for them to sign up for e-newsletters, update their contact information and make online donations.

You will learn how to accept online donations and accept online registration and payments for your events. You will learn how to drive traffic to your website with online ads, track your website visitors and monitor demographics with free analytics tools. You will learn how to build a community and expand your audience with blogging and microblogging tools, email newsletters, online video and RSS feeds.

We will show how you can offer your employees integrated email, voicemail, shared calendars, shared document repository and collaborative wikis. See how easy it is to setup mailing lists with Google Groups and build websites using Google Sites. All this for free!
