6 Unique Online Fundraising Techniques for Your Nonprofit
Online Auctions (Part 2 of 6)
http://www.ephilanthropy.org/site/News2?news_iv_ct...
by Lance Trebesch and Taylor Robinson
One of the most effective online fundraising tools you can use today is the online auction. Nonprofits know that auctions are time consuming and difficult to manage, but also very lucrative. In 2006 alone, more than 16 billion dollars was raised through charitable auctions in the U.S. (National Auctioneers Association). Furthermore, auctions give nonprofit organizations the unique ability to tap into “household spending” dollars which compose 66% of the GNP compared to the only 2% allocated to “charitable giving” (Making Auctions Work Best for Corporate Sponsors and Fundraisers). The use of an online auction in your nonprofit will reduce the amount of resources required to host the auction while maximizing the potential profits.

How to Give Your Website a Favicon
www.wildapricot.com/blogs
by Rebecca Leaman
More than just a colorful decoration for your website, a favicon (short for favorites icon) can help to create a unique identity for your website.
Those little 16 x 16 images are a powerful and visual way to help "brand" your organization, and to keep your website visitors in touch with whose site they are on. For example, on every page of www.WildApricot.com, you'll see our apricot icon shown right before the URL in the web browser's location bar and next to the site's name in the browser tab. You'll also see favicons next to the names of websites in your Bookmarks or Favorites lists
