Technology infrastructure is critical to building successful nonprofits. But funds for technology products can be prohibitive. TechSoup Stock can help. There is no membership fee.

Greater responsibility begets greater opportunity. That's the situation nonprofits face when using email to reach potential donors and volunteers, speakers said recently at a panel convened by the Direct Marketing Association at its New York City headquarters.

Nonprofits are subject to the bigger risk/reward scenario than for-profits because of inherent goodwill and greater expectations attached to cause-related marketing efforts, compared with those undertaken by conventional profit-driven vendors.

"Justgiving made a huge difference in our bottom line for this year’s AIDS Walk and got rave reviews from our walkers.  We look forward to working with you folks for many years to come!"
