Craig Newmark gives web advice for small nonprofits

I hope you've noticed that in the last few weeks we have been listing a selection of upcoming class at NYU down the right side of this page. We've had some great feedback so far on our idea of promoting these classes.  Hopefully we can draw some attention to upcoming courses like "How to Be a Philanthropist on $5/week" and "Government Funding." But for one particular seminar (a one-day class), I thought it was important to post about it.

On October 23, Craig Newmark (the Craig of Craigslist) is going to be at NYU offering web advice specifically designed for small nonprofits. How often do you have a chance to pick Craig's brain? Also, knowing this class is designed for organizations that may not have a ton of cash handy, for a registration fee of $150 NYU is allowing you to bring along two colleagues for free. Course description below:

When Craig Newmark founded craigslist.org over 10 years ago, he created a free marketplace that today caters to millions of people and continues to expand around the world. In this seminar, Newmark shares the secrets of his success and his thoughts on how his principles might best be applied to small nonprofit organizations who wish to utilize the internet to grow and attain their goals. Topics include how to attract more hits on your website and techniques for increasing the number and size of online contributions. 

Registrants are invited to bring up to two additional staff members from their organization at no additional charge.  Please contact Robert Lesko at 212-998-6764 to register.
