Nonprofit Net Mission Statement

Our mission is to unite nonprofits within a community to attract local philanthropic resources and to increase their capacity to deliver services.

We work with nonprofit organizations to facilitate access to local resources that would not otherwise be available. Whether the objective is fundraising, finding new board members, recruiting volunteers or improving operations, we help our member organizations reach their goals more easily and more quickly. We also help our members to improve the capacity of their boards and improve their own internal management and operational practices by providing access to managerial and executive talent at regular peer group meetings.

Multichannel Strategies for Nonprofits: How To Use Online Tools to Raise Money, Awareness and Support for Your Organization

Social and Web 2.0 technologies have changed not just how we market and promote our programs and services, but also how we manage and lead our organizations, and how we build communities and create movements. Understanding the multichannel landscape is more important than ever before, as the pace of change is growing exponentially. Email communications, social media, and mobile are important, but how will they help your nonprofit and the issues you work on every day? Most importantly, how the heck do you integrate and utilize these tools successfully without losing your mind? This seminar will help you answer these questions, and will guide you through the planning and implementation of online multichannel strategies that will spark advocacy, raise money and promote deeper community engagement in order to achieve social change in real time.

The seminar will be led by Julia Campbell, President/CEO of J Campbell Social Marketing, a boutique digital marketing agency based in Beverly, MA. Julia received her degree in Journalism & Communications from Boston University and earned a Master in Public Administration from Old Dominion University as well as a Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Tidewater Community College.

Seminar Description:

Planned Giving Demystified

Have you ever wondered why many nonprofits frequently get large gifts of appreciated stock, real estate or bequests, but you seldom do? This seminar will introduce you to the most likely planned gift options that all charities can understand and promote with most if not all of their prospects for such gifts. You will learn the basic features and applications of three of the most common planned gifts: bequests, gift annuities, and charitable remainder trusts. The discussion will cover which types are best suited to meet the donor's goals and provide guidelines on how to incorporate   the planned giving program in your fundraising campaigns.

The seminar will be conducted by Julia Satti Cosentino, the manager of the Trusts and Estates Department of the Boston law firm of Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP and chair of the Nutter Charitable Advisors practice group. Julia focuses on counseling both public charities and private foundations on legal aspects of strategic planning, organizational structure, fundraising, tax compliance and reporting. She is experienced in advising exempt organizations and philanthropists on all aspects of charitable giving and utilizing planned giving programs to leverage the gifts. Julia serves as trustee or director of a number of private trusts and foundations, and is currently a director of NonProfit Net, Inc., a Member of the Corporation of Perkins School for the Blind and co-chair of the Retention and Advancement Committee of the Boston Bar Association’s Diversity and Inclusion Section.
