Nonprofits across the U.S. are suffering in the current recession. The DRC has decided, as a public service, to offer a series of free monthly seminars via conference call to small- and medium-sized nonprofits that are feeling the pinch. We will offer concrete advice on fundraising in a recession as well as management and fiscal policy counsel that we call "best practices for bad times."
These seminars will be taught by Shava Nerad, former E.D. of the Tor Project, and Buzz Harris, E.D. of the DRC. Registrants will receive information about the conference calls via email. Tuition: free of charge
Please fill out the form, below, to register for any of the seminars. This form will allow you to register for one seminar at a time. You will need to re-open and complete it again if you wish to register for more than one session.
Feel free to contact us at
