Join CanadaHelps Executive Director Owen Charters for a morning of social media and fundraising training. Learn about how to apply knowledge you already have to online tools and how to build a strategy around integrating these tools to your current initiatives. We’ll tell you the good, the bad and the ugly. We’ll tell you what’s easy, what’s challenging, what you can try for free, and what might not be worth your time.

Rationalizing Social Media: Strategy & Cost-Benefit Analysis of Fundraising Through Social Media
They might often be free, but they come with hidden costs – should you use social media tools to engage and fundraise?  Learn how to plan, resource, and budget for social media campaigns. No, we won’t teach you how to tweet, but we will share strategies for social media success, and give you the essential tools for your organization’s own roadmap through the land of blogs, Facebook, Twitter, e-mail campaigns, and other social media.  Find out how to integrate your offline marketing and communication priorities with an online audience, and hopefully, raise more money for your cause.

Please join us at the St. Boniface Library for this timely and valuable workshop. Light refreshments will be served.
