Resource Development Network is pleased to announce its new nonprofit web development division.  Bob Keesecker has twenty years of nonprofit management and fund raising experience.  He understands how a web site should not only help promote a nonprofit organization, but assist in the fund raising process as well.  He also has a graphic sensibility that will help set your web site apart from the overdone sites that permeate the Internet.

Use your web site to promote your mission, programs and events.  Inform donors and prospects about giving opportunities, especially in the areas of endowment and estate planning.  Create an environment for your constituents increase their involvement with your organization through audio, video and interactive response vehicles.  Allow them to easily your organization by making a gift through your web site.
