OPPORTUNITY!

"Our recent national survey of the sector showed that the sector spends a minimum of 500 million on ICT annually,” Doug Jacquier; CEO CUA

The key opportunity for sponsors is a unique and direct channel to the Australian nonprofit market.

The entire market is over 700,000 with 43,000 being active Income Tax Exempt (ITE) organisations.

We have set up a national directory list for our programs which is over 50,000 organisations and we also have a highly qualified and segmented database due to our role of assessing and qualifying organisations’ eligibility for the Australian technology donations program.

The Connecting Up Conference brings together a wide variety of organisations from all over Australia and targets, CEO’s, Boards, Marketing/ Fundraising Managers and other staff of nonprofits. This year we are also targeting Small and medium businesses through the support of DSRD NSW, IIE and ATUG. We found many businesses associated with the sector found the conference very useful and many are hungry for more information on ICT strategies with things like Social Networking, too.

See the attached booking form for details on booths and sponsorship packages.
