Best Practices for Online Donations

== WELCOME TO OUR 1ST ==
== SAN DIEGO NONPROFIT ==
== TECHNOLOGY MEETUP ==

We're excited to kick-off this new endeavor for the San Diego nonprofit community. As this is the first of many monthly meetups, we want to take some time to talk about what kinds of topics everyone is interested in as well as provide a top-quality best practices presentation for attendees.

==ABOUT IMPRESS.ORG==
Our meetups are going to be hosted and organized primarily by Impress.org. We are a local NGO technology company, focused on building website solutions for nonprofits. Our mission is to offer "Code for Good". While we are the host and organizers, this is YOUR meetup -- we're looking forward to all the ideas and insights and presentations that all our members will bring each month.

== AGENDA ==

1. Welcome
2. 30 minute presentation on "Best Practices for Online Donations"
3. Roundtable Introductions of attendees
4. Discussion on upcoming events and suggestions for more topics and presenters.

We will be providing a light lunch of sandwiches (veggie options will be available, as well as gluten free options) and drinks.

== LOCATION & PARKING ==
We're in the original Downtown City Hall building, on G Street, between 4th and 5th. We'll have someone available at the door to let folks in and show the way to the office. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, we might not have somewhere there, use the buzzer (Suite #204) and we'll do our best to be on the lookout for you.

There is quite a bit of available street parking that is affordable. Park It on Market is another affordable parking option that is nearby as well. But because it is Downtown, you might want to consider ridesharing options like Lyft or Uber.

== PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION ==
As nonprofits and charitable organizations gear up for the fundraising season, are you getting the most out of your fundraising and campaign efforts?

This workshop is designed to help your nonprofit improve its digital fundraising practices and better understand the latest digital fundraising tools. We'll discuss a wide range of digital tools & opportunities such as:

• Website Hosting solutions
• Third-party versus Self-hosted solutions
• Donor data and privacy concerns
• Reporting
• Recurring Donations
• Donations are just the first step in Donor Relations

Slides and resources will be available online, so come ready to learn and contribute your insights and experiences as well.
