Baptcare was recently awarded a Google Grant, free publicity that has doubled our website traffic. Using that Grant we’ve created adverts to promote our nonprofit organisation’s vacancies and seen a big rise in the number of job applications we’ve received. Maybe you could do the same for your website’s job ads.
I recently announced that I’d been given a Google Grant to create free online ads to promote Greek Care. Two weeks later, are hordes of visitors pounding on the doors of this new nonprofit website? Er, no… not yet anyway.
That would an embarrassing end to that topic, if it weren’t for the succcess I’ve had with Baptcare‘s ad campaign, which recently doubled its site traffic. Why is that one nonprofit ad campaign works whilst another doesn’t? Here are some thoughts and ideas… >> Read more…
Baptcare is large nonprofit organisation providing care services in the state of Victoria, Australia. With over 760 staff based in several dozen locations, working in very different projects, good internal communication is vital. That’s why their Intranet is so important to them.

Did you know that Melbourne has the biggest Greek population outside of Greece? That’s why I was commissioned to design the Greek Care website by Fronditha, a charity in Victoria, Australia.

I’d like to tell you how that project was tackled, and how various plugins were installed to add extra functionality to the basic CMS. >> Read more…
Andrew Perry demonstrated a free and open-source product called CiviCRM at the Connecting Up conference. It’s a customer relationshop management tool that you can install on your own webspace; and if you use either Drupal or Joomla to run your website, then CiviCRM can integrate with it.
CiviCRM helps you manage your relationships with donors and supporters, sign up people to attend your events, run your memberships and handle your email newsletters and other communications. Lots of nonprofits are using it and I can see why, it has a lot of very useful features. >> Read more…
I really like the PowerPoint slideshow that Emily Turner of Philanthropy Australia and Priscilla Brice-Weller of ANTar used in their presentation at the Connecting Up conference in Brisbane. Apart from the clever way they divided the screen to give their individual perspectives on blogging, it’s also an interesting, short overview of why a nonprofit organisation might want to use a blog. >> Read more…
