We Can Help You Tell the Story of Your Nonprofit's Impact
TechSoup's annual Storymakers campaign launches September 5. We know that good stories power fundraising and marketing, so join one of our free events to discover powerful case studies and connect with digital storytelling experts in your community. If you don't have a local group (I can help fix that problem!) there's also free online guides and a global tweet chat October 5 using the hashtag #storymakers2017.
And if that wasn't enough TechSoup is also running a contest with US$10,000 in cash prizes. Check out the #storymakers2017 page for all the details.
The world is better when nonprofits can better tell their story. TechSoup and the NetSquared meetups are here to help.
Upcoming Events
This roundup of face-to-face nonprofit tech events includes meetups from NetSquared, NTEN's Tech Clubs and other awesome organizations. If you're holding monthly events gathering the #nptech community let me know and I'll include you in the next community calendar, or apply today to start your own NetSquared group.
