One of the most requested program topics for 2020 is prospect research. Join us for a focused discussion about how a seasoned nonprofit fundraiser conducts in-depth yet cost effective fundraising research, with an emphasis on your own nonprofit’s database(s).

Carolyn M. Appleton got her start in nonprofit fundraising in Austin in the 1980s. Since then, she has worked across Texas, often in remote locations with little or no staffing. New technologies have helped Carolyn achieve her fundraising goals and then some! In 2011, she launched Carolyn’s Nonprofit Blog, which today has more than 100 nations visiting annually. There, Carolyn shares her experiences and her advice for nonprofit executives of all experience levels.

Carolyn has been an NTEN: Nonprofit Technology Network volunteer for close to ten years. She received a national NTENy award for her volunteer efforts. Carolyn has talked at prior Nonprofit Technology Conferences, and in 2019, she was pleased to be chosen to help TechSoup develop an online nonprofit disaster preparation and recovery course funded by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (it will be offered again in 2020 – stay tuned). In 2019, Carolyn also became a Qgiv affiliate, having learned about Qgiv via #NPTechClubATX (she says she learns a lot from tech club programs, smiles).

Nonprofit Tech Club Austin #NPTechClubATX is part of a network of tech clubs across the nation and the world. NTEN: Nonprofit Technology Network and NetSquared (a division of TechSoup), are co-sponsors. Meetings are free and open to all. We are inclusive and celebrate multiple approaches, backgrounds and points of view. Our aim is to help nonprofits find cost-effective tech solutions and techniques to make their work easier, more secure and efficient.

We would like to thank Capital Factory for being our primary venue host during 2020. Our tech club programs will also appear on the Capital Factory event calendar. We are pleased Trianon Coffee will continue as a #NPTechClubATX sponsor during 2020. Hearty thanks to both!

Sincerely,

#NPTechClubATX Volunteer Team
