The Tapp Blog

Nonprofits work on a tight budget each year to successfully serve their constituents. However, they also must stay current and relevant and effectively reach their target audience to maintain a solid donor base. Technology budgeting for nonprofits is an integral aspect of every budget if organizations want to keep up with resources and continue to grow.

While a nonprofit's purpose is to raise as much money for its cause as possible, the very best organizations do so by creating a community which values support in all its forms. This is why website development and blogging for nonprofits plays such an important role in their marketing strategy: often, the website (and accompanying blog) is the face of the organization, the first introduction potential donors get, and a means by which the nonprofit can inform -- and engage with -- their audience.

Our group for this past Tuesday's Tapp Social webinar was small, but mighty. We appreciated Ryan Catalani (one of our October speakers) of Family Promise returning to share his Giving Tuesday experience, as well as hearing from a few other nonprofiteers.

It's no secret that Tapp has been growing by leaps and bounds. In the past couple months, we've done everything from hosting multiple events for Delaware Innovation Week to opening a branch in St. Petersburg, Florida.

We can't start this post without thanking all the incredible speakers and attendees who participated in the event and brought so much energy and enthusiasm. The 3 panels did a phenomenal job, and left us feeling inspired to get out there and do something! If you weren't able to make it, we don't want you to miss out (well, we do want you to experience a bit of FOMO). Read on for a short recap and some takeaways from the event.

Officially this past Tapp Social was about Grants, Applications, and Finding Funders. Usha Vig, the founder of Mission Guided Grants shared her knowledge with us, from the basic types of grants to tips for grant-seeking success.

Did you know that only 78% of nonprofit websites are mobile compatible? Yet 60% of users come from mobile.
