Dear Nonprofit Professional,

Like the season, this spring issue of Convio Connection is filled with optimism, growth and renewal. From landmark research on major donors with Sea Change Strategies and Edge Research, to new offerings to integrate your eCRM as you reach mobile constituents, the Internet offers tremendous potential to grow your organization and generate renewed interest from your advocates, donors and volunteers.

You'll find longtime fundraiser and consultant Bob Carter of Archimede Philanthropy Partners describe how the Internet can help move your donors along an engagement path. And how two clients, America's Second Harvest and UNCF, the United Negro College Fund, take relationships to new levels. To ensure your email gets delivered this spring (and summer, fall and winter too!) check out Dr. Bill Pease's best practices, which he presented at last month's NTEN's conference in New Orleans. In the Big Easy, we also shared the latest on Convio's Open Initiative — our new relationship with The Salesforce Foundation — that offers exciting opportunities for growing your organization.

For a "spring-fresh" look at the latest trends, ideas and best practices for nonprofits online, visit Connection Café, Convio's new blog that connects people, ideas and technology to achieve extraordinary results. You'll find me there and a wide cross-section of our Austin-Berkeley-DC team. Please join in the discussion!
