Class Title: Social Networking and Fundraising for Nonprofits: P2P Fundraising.

Class Format: This is a recording of a 90-minute, interactive teleclass held via conference call on Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Since we recorded the class, you can listen to it in the convenience of your home or office from your web browser.

Immediately on registering you will automatically be taken to a classroom page where you may listen to the class via streaming audio from your web browser. The controls on the player enable you to listen to, or re-listen to, any part of the class. You may log out and come back at a later time or times, so long as you return some time within 90 days from the date you registered for the class. In other words, you can decide when to listen to a class, even breaking it over over different days. Even better, you replay portions that you'd like to re-hear. The class slides are available for download from the classroom page.

As soon as you register, you will also be sent emails providing you with your username and password, in case you need to log in again, good for 90 days. You'll also receive an electronic receipt, in case you need it for reimbursement or for tax purposes.

Do You Have a Group? Class registration is for you only* with the following exception: If you wish to convene a group to physically gather around a single computer where you play the class audio, you may do so at no additional charge. With the money you'll save, you can spring for pizza for everybody!  

*Please note that it is impermissible to give out your login information to anyone who is not registered in this class. We do monitor log-ins for compliance purposes.
