Coordinating event dates with other organizations, figuring out seating arrangements, collecting funds from ticket sales or donations, conducting online auctions and sending out email newsletters are just a few of the tasks nonprofits have to tackle. These duties are especially challenging for nonprofits with small staffs. Blacktie South Florida offers a much-needed helping hand to charitable organizations saddled with these activities.
Listen to Ginny Fujino, the president of Blacktie South Florida, explain all of the services available to both members and nonmembers. Sharon Alexander, the executive director of Unicorn Children’s Foundation, is one of Blacktie’s biggest fans. She recalls when her volunteers would plan seating arrangements using paper plates taped to the wall of her conference room. Today, she uses the online service for everything from event registration to distributing electronic newsletters to thousands of supporters.
