PositiveImpact
Having access to great resources is invaluable for nonprofit organizations. With just a click of your digital device from virtually anywhere in the world, anyone can tune it to a webinar or podcast, which is especially important right now as we continue to stay at home and work remotely in an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19. The webinar format turns the internet into a wonderful forum for education. There are hundreds of webinar options for nonprofit organizations designed to share information, teach and inspire.
Some are free and only require that you join; others ask for basic courtesy information about who you are and the mission of your organization; and some charge a fee. In most cases, once you register for a webinar, you’ll usually receive updates, so you don’t forget to put it on your calendar.
