Thanks again to everyone for your patience! We had some lingering trouble with importing data and exporting reports, but these have been resolved.

We're still working to improve performance in several places of the program - these should be cleared up soon.

Re: The US Top 20 Charitable Donations – Who Were The Big Givers In 2009?

Hope more elite people would do such kind of generosity in order to help other who are in need, since these top donors are living a wealthy life donating or sharing what they have to others is not a big thing or problem for them but to those people who they helped would forever be thankful.

Re: Could You PowerPoint This? Seven PowerPoint Alternatives

Dave Giusti — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 17:33:19 -0000

Use your PowerPoint slides or not...

Our take is that content comes in various formats. Use your available content in your presentations and break free from one dimensional flat slides.

Freepath allows you to mix PowerPoint slides with video, audio, web pages, Microsoft office docs in a drag and drop user interface--no embedding. Add video to your presentation in seconds--just drag and drop.

I do a free weekly webinar every Wednesday at 9am PST if you would like to see Freepath in action, http://www.freepath.com/live or give our free 15 day trial a try https://www.freepath.com/Store...

Bonjour

L'agence de communication Couleur Citron a développé une solution alternative à PowerPoint qui est basé sur une technologie flash. L'outil se nomme : Adéquat'SLIDESHOW.
Il est beaucoup plus axé vers les professionnels : interactif, collaboratif, Charte graphique...

Allé voir, il vaut vraiment le détour !

Bonne journée

Hi Elizabeth,

You can print the receipt by using your browser's Print command. Make sure you un-select the option for "Print headers and footers" (might be worded differently depending on your browser).

Hi, we don't have a Facebook widget - that's a great idea though!

Re: What’s New in 1.3.6

Can't find this listed here or elsewhere--is there a Facebook widget for Donor Tools that I could embed on my FB profile page?

Re: What’s New in 1.3.6

Elizabeth Turnbull — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:55:13 -0000

Love the new features, especially tax receipt option. But how do I print the receipt? It would also be very helpful to be able to choose which fields go on the receipt. This is a wonderful step forward!

We would like some help institutionalizing our services for non-profits.

My husband and I provide free or low-cost tech support for a few non-profits, a local independent bookstore, and several other small businesses in our area (St. Louis, MO). We are "retired" IT people, and we perform a wide-variety of troubleshooting and support services, including web site maintenance, network support, fixing hardware, implementing software, general fix-it, figure-it-out help.

We are concerned about what will happen with some of our clients should something happen to us. We would like to figure out a good way to maintain continuity - possibly by forming a service-oriented non-profit utilizing services of other retirees, corporate volunteers, maybe tech school coops. We would love to get some help drafting a plan and shaping an approach that will help us find, organize and mobilize others like us so that support can be ongoing.

Hey guys,

We're that non-profit Theatre Development Organization that Robert told you about. We find new voices and give them new opportunities to rock the world, one stage at a time. We're also a hub for other arts organizations; we rent office space to the arts, we have a gallery where we showcase promising visual artists, and performing companies from all over use our stage to rehearse and perform. We just moved into our very own venue in San Francisco, and this puppy is in great need of some renovation. We need help with lots of random stuff:

-We’re constructing new dressing rooms, if you have any ability with a hammer or a paintbrush, we could use your help.
-The seating in our theatre is a little bit of a wreck, and we need to re-number the entire back section.
-We’re re-doing the lighting system for our lobby (we’re in a giant warehouse, so our lobby is literally lit by stage light instruments) and I think Robert mentioned that you (Chris) designed lights? Would that be something you’re interested in?
-We have a bunch of left over furniture (tables, mostly) that needs to be dumped or transported to a more needy home, and two strong people with a truck or a van might be all we need (or a chainsaw and a dumpster)
-We are looking to set up a wireless networking module in our tech-booth, but that will require that someone run some CAT-5 cable from our internet hub to the techbooth, interested in spreading the net?

You've got some other awesome org's here looking for help, so I wont take it personally if you spend your time elsewhere. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,
Cris @ Z Space

Ryan - it looks like you guys are getting some great ideas from your customers!

When you do pick one, I'd love to see a "behind the scenes" YouTube video of the volunteers.

Guys, we'd love to have your help on our Laundry Love Projects. We assist low-income people with meeting a basic need – washing clothes and linens.

We've got plenty of opportunities for you to put some time into.
