Presenter: Lisa Rau, Chief Executive Officer, Confluence

Web 2.0 and other state-of-the-art tools can enrich your organization’s grantmaking process for a surprisingly low cost and with little effort. Does this mean you should implement these tools? This session will help provide an understanding of whether and how Web 2.0 technologies might be appropriate for your organization. We will provide an accessible and informative overview for novice and geek alike, putting trendy tools in perspective and focusing on ways social networking systems can be used in grantmaking. Our session will include a discussion of best practices in deploying social networking tools in a grantmaking setting and other potential low-cost, free, or otherwise easy-to-use technologies to benefit your grantees and reduce your workload.
