Events: Resources for Nonprofits and Social Entrepreneurs

Coalition U’s Networking for Resources Happy Hour

On Wednesday, August 27, Coalition U — an initiative of the Urban Affairs Coalition created to help nonprofit organizations strengthen their infrastructure, build capacity, and maximize community impact — is hosting a Networking for Resources Happy Hour.  The event will be an opportunity for nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs to exchange ideas, collaborate on projects and network for resources that will strengthen their organizations.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to sit down 1-on-1 with VIP Guests, all successful nonprofit leaders and corporate foundation experts, to get a free 15-minute consultation on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The event will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Benjamin’s Desk, 1701 Walnut Street. Learn more about the event and RSVP here.

Philly Net Squared’s Philly Net Tuesday is back on September 2 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This month’s discussion will be focused on free and discounted technology tools for nonprofits. Each of the presenters will introduce themselves, and then attendees can chose two presentations they want to attend that evening:

• Community Magic’s Stan Pokras will discuss Freecycle as a resource for free stuff and a way to help keep reusable goods out of landfills.
• Azavea’s Tyler Dahlberg will share insights on his firm’s annual Summer of Maps fellowship which paired student data analysts with nonprofits to produce high-impact maps for free.
• Briana Morgan from the Office of HIV Planning will speak on Google for Nonprofits, which includes a $10,000/month advertising grant for noncommercial purposes and free access to Google Apps.

In addition, Elijah van der Giessen from TechSoup Global will speak about how the national TechSoup organization can help nonprofits through its software donation program and related services.
