I have some very exciting news.

For the past year or so, I’ve been doing some work with IdeaVibes, the Ottawa-based company that has created the Canadian crowdsourcing engine, FundChange. Paul Dombowsky, the owner of the company, asked me to adapt my book, The Guide to Getting Started with Social Media for Artists and Arts Organizations, for the Not-for-Profit sector. We are in the final stages of the process now, and the e-book with be launched on April 20 in Victoria at a workshop that I am giving there. After April 20, you will also be able to purchase it through my website.

Here’s the details about the workshop, although nearly 100 are already registered, and the deadline for RSVP’s was yesterday (oops! my bad! Sweet-talk your way in!).

Telus Victoria Networking Board and Lunch

Here’s a cool infographic that Fundchange just released, outlining the success of their first year. Over $100,000 raised for Canadian NFPs and Charities via crowdfunding!
