The 1000 New Donors Course

Thousands of people are interested in the issues your nonprofit is tackling. They care about the programs your nonprofit delivers. They are concerned for the people it serves.

Inexpensive technologies are giving nonprofit new tools to bridge this gap. Building this bridge starts with establishing effective two-way communication, like an email.
