Show# 72: Big Ideas, Small Budget

If you work for a charity or other nonprofit, you’ll be especially interested in today’s show, which is based on a conference call where a group of us talked about communications ideas for nonprofits. The discussion ranges from  finding skilled yet inexpensive voice talent, recruiting volunteers, communicating with donors and the public,  and the reluctance of some colleagues to adopt new technology.

To keep the discussion going, I’ve created a wiki to accompany this podcast. If you work in the nonprofit sector and you want to share ideas or resources, please contribute to the wiki (email me for the password). Of course if you were a participant in the conference call, I really hope you’ll add your thoughts to the wiki. A big thank-you to the participants:
