There’s nothing I can tell you that you haven’t already heard about what an unusual time this is. What I can share with you, though, are some practical, no-cost resources to help you raise funds in an environment where in-person events aren’t possible:

• Virtual conference on 4/23: It’s a Peer-to-Peer World — This special edition of the popular virtual conference offers five great sessions focused on tips for virtual events and campaigns.
   
• Blog article: 6 Ways to Engage Peer-to-Peer Participants and Increase Donations for Virtual Events
   
• Virtual event and TeamRaiser tools: Our friends at Blackbaud offer several resources for nonprofits to help during these challenging times, including this Event and Fundraising hub, which offers a helpful TeamRaiser virtual event toolkit.
   

Many organizations that serve the nonprofit sector are offering multiple suggestions and resources to help you through this time. These are just a few to help get you started.

And, if you need a hand with your technology and online fundraising, the Cathexis Partners team is always here, ready to help.

Even for smaller organizations and budgets, a custom WordPress theme design can be a unique, efficient, flexible, and affordable alternative to an off-the-shelf WordPress theme. For example, a custom WordPress theme allows you to:

• Create a compelling website that is unique to your brand and mission and doesn’t end up looking like everyone else’s
   
• Tell the full story of your nonprofit and mission, and not have to fit your story into the structure of a generic template
   
• Make changes to the theme down the road as your organization evolves
   
• Have a website that only includes the functionality you need (without a lot of extra code you don’t need) so it loads more quickly

These are just a few of the benefits of a custom WordPress theme design. For more details, read the blog article, 7 Reasons a Custom WordPress Theme Might Be the Best Choice for Your Nonprofit’s Website.
