Craigslist foundation nonprofits bootcamp

Just got back from Berkeley after attending the boot camp.

Incredible experience, incredible energy, incredible community of committed people.

We’ll be too busy working on the Thirty Day Challenge to do much of anything here until September rolls around, but are looking forward to the chance to start implementing what we learned. So many tools, so many ideas, so many contacts and connections to follow up on, so little time….

Nonprofit Bootcamp – San Francisco August 18

This looks like too good an opportunity to miss. It will cut into our “weekend catchup time” in the 30 Day Challenge, but why not add some real world networking into the online community building mix.

Craigslist Foundation – Boot Camp
Join Craigslist Foundation for a day of knowledge, resources and networking, all focused on how to start and run a vibrant nonprofit. Nonprofit Boot Camp is designed to educate and empower the next generation of nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs.

A few of us from Many Hands will attend so we can cover as many of the workshops as possible. If you are going to be there, leave a comment and we’ll figure out how to run into each other.

It’s not what you know…

How cool is this? Amy’s first post on the Thirty Day Challenge forum was picked up by the currently most popular guitar-playing internet marketing anti-guru on the internet.

30DC and Nonprofits? – Thirty Day Challenge Forums
Hey Dad! This is great. Never thought I would find you on facebook – I can help with making the group work (since you have issues)! Now can we talk about something other than 30DC for a change?

Nonprofit Thirty Day Challenge?

What does the Thirty Day Challenge have to do with a nonprofit organization – especially this nonprofit, whose main purpose isn’t fundraising. Isn’t the Thirty Day Challenge all about making money online?

Well, yes and no. Although the challenge is to earn $10 online in 30 days, the focus is on becoming a Web 2.0 master. Sounds pretty relevant to an organization trying to evolve itself to Many-Hands 2.0.

Don’t know if a “.org” can join the 30DC (maybe Ed has some advice) – but a few of its members already have. What we learn in the Challenge we’ll try to apply to Many Hands – along with developing our own money machines of course (how else can we quit our jobs and spend all our time volunteering?).

One obvious idea from the first few days of training is to create a Many Hands group on facebook. We’ll send Mack over to set that up right now. Anything else we should be doing?
