Nonprofit Marketing & Tech News - Upcoming Event and Podcast

Here's our April newsletter for nonprofits and charities to help in their technology decisions and in their fundraising efforts:

Being closely tied to technology, marketing, and nonprofits, we decided to attend the Nonprofit MN Tech/Communications Conference next Tues. and are interviewing attendees for a podcast. If you have something to say about how tech works for your nonprofit, challenges you face, and what more you'd like to see happen in the future, please respond to us and we can set up a quick 10 min. interview for our podcast. Either way, if you're attending the event, come say hi at booth 108!
