NETWORK FOR GOOD
Raising resources for local organizations can be expensive. Events take time, people, and those with lots of cash to spare. Direct mail appeals are costly. In a time of economic austerity sites like the Network for Good can be a boon. A carefully selected committee of volunteers in an organization could launch a campaign to move people to donate to your program and/or organization in this easy to use online format.
This is a website where you can give to your favorite charity/charities and have all your donation records stored and accessible at any time. The website is safe and secure; meeting the BBB Wise Giving Alliance standards for charity accountability. Since its inception more than 450,000 donors have contributed more than $250 million dollars using the Network for Good giving system.
There are several reasons why this online site might to the answer to some funding woes.
- It is easy to donate online using an electronic giving system rather than writing a check and putting it in the mail.
- Giving records that are all in one place makes your life easier at tax time and when you want to give again. A donor can log on at any time to access this information
- There is a 4.75% fee to support the organization in its mission and for training and support to more than 50,000 nonprofits in their fundraising efforts.

TECH TIPS MADE EASY
180 Technology Tips is a Web site with a mountain or two of information on technology. From Windows to Word to Outlook the site promises easy and free ideas on a myriad of topics related to the computer.
There is a page of the top 10 technology sites. Topics range from explaining how to decipher Web addresses, to flipping your screen, to the intricacies of a computer mouse. I was enlightened by the background on the computer mouse—two kinds! There were links to sites that allow the user to practice with the mouse.
This is a Web site to bookmark for the day when nothing on the computer is going right and you are looking for fast help.
