501Click.Com: The Online Resource Exclusively Devoted to Nonprofits By Diane Schweitzer President and Co-Founder 501Click.com While many nonprofit organizations have invested in technology in the last few years, a good number of staff do not yet take advantage of all the resources now available to them through the Internet. The founders of 501Click - a new online resource exclusively for nonprofits (www.501click.com) - recognize that nonprofit managers face unique challenges in running their organizations, and they don't have a minute (or a dollar) to waste. There simply isn't the time to search among all the options for the most useful management information or the best deals. But 501Click is designed to help busy nonprofit leaders and managers find what they need quickly and easily. The online information, products and services are all tailored to save nonprofits time and money. This frees up both money and staff time to devote to program activities. Nonprofit staff often wear multiple hats, and sometimes the person responsible for an agency function (e.g., Human Resources) has little to no training in that area. The 501Click Management Toolkit provides an alternative to someone who needs answers fast: online assistance in a variety of management areas ranging from Board Governance to Volunteer Management to Technology. And the information is available in easy-to-understand, customizable formats, such as downloadable forms, checklists and templates, so that the information can immediately be put to work in a nonprofit organization. Everything is designed to be easily accessible for someone new to the Internet. The various resource sections also refer people for additional help (classes, consultants, publications) should it be needed. Live customer support is available through a toll free number. Nonprofits spend enormous amounts of time and energy fundraising, while sometimes overlooking relatively simple opportunities to save money. A nonprofit organization will spend, on average, 12 percent of its annual budget on supplies - ordinary things like paper, printer cartridges and notepads. And most nonprofit organizations lack the purchasing power to do anything but pay full retail. The 501Click Marketplace offers another option. 501Click has negotiated special discounts exclusively for nonprofit organizations with vendors such as Dell, Gateway and Sprint, for the products and services that nonprofits use every day: office supplies, office furniture, computers, long distance service and computer training, to name just a few. Through 501Click's one-stop-shopping, nonprofit organizations can save time and money making a variety of purchases online, knowing that 501Click has already combed the alternatives for the best deals and is providing them with the most significant discounts available. All of the 501Click services are free of charge to nonprofit organizations. A simple registration process simply ensures that everyone taking advantage of these special resources is affiliated with a nonprofit. There is no advertising on the site, nor will 501Click sell or trade membership information. Please visit our site at www.501click.com to check out all the services available to you, and we encourage you to provide feedback. All of us at 501Click are eager to hear what you think.
