New Tools to Build Your Nonprofit

Clik here to view.A couple of years ago I recognized that there was a real need in the nonprofit sector for tools to help nonprofit staffs, board members and donors make their organizations more strategic and sustainable.

So I began developing e-books, guides and webinars to explain new concepts (like Financing Not Fundraising), demonstrate how to use new models (like a theory of change) and guide nonprofit leaders to a better way (like better engaging their board).

Today, I am really excited to announce, as promised, the launch of the expanded and streamlined Tools store at Social Velocity.

I have spent the last several months revising and expanding many of the e-books, step-by-step guides and on-demand webinars available for download at the Social Velocity Tools page. And we’ve completely revamped the shopping cart experience to make it easier to find the tools you need and to offer additional payment options.

There are four categories of Tools available to you.

1. On-Demand Webinars
   These can be viewed whenever and however many times you’d like. Some of the webinar topics include:

   How to Build a Groundbreaking Board
   Getting Your Board to Raise Money
   Finding Individual Donors

2. Step-by-Step Guides
   These take a complex concept (like a theory of change) and show you step-by-step how to create one for your organization and how to use it to garner more support, chart a strategic direction, and much more. Some of the Step-by-Step Guides include:

   Design a Theory of Change
   Craft a Case for Investment
   Build a Nonprofit Financing Plan

3. E-books
   These explain new approaches, the theory behind them, and how to start implementing a changed approach in your nonprofit. Like the:

   Financing Not Fundraising, vol 1
   Financing Not Fundraising, vol 2
   Ten Traits of a Groundbreaking Board

4. Tool Bundles
   I’m most excited about these bundles where I’ve grouped e-books, webinars and guides around a particular goal a nonprofit leader wants to achieve, saving you 15% off the individual tool prices. For example:

   Attract More Donors Bundle
   Build an Engaged Board Bundle
   Raise Capacity Capital Bundle

But there are many more e-books, guides, webinars, and bundles available on the Tools page, so I invite you to check it out.

I hope these Tools are helpful to you as you work to move your nonprofit forward. Please let me know if you have questions as you explore.

And as always, please let me know what other tools would be helpful to you.
