Recently I had the opportunity to chat with Paul Estey, VP Strategy at Artez Interactive, a Canadian based firm which helps nonprofits with “web and technology-based products and services that empower individuals to engage in active relationships with charities, associations, and other nonprofit organizations.”

Artez has also posted presentations held at their recent conference, including topics such as:

• Tech Innovation in Fundraising
• Building Better Events
• Solving the Integration Headache
• Empowering Third Party Fundraisers (which describes their new ‘Personal Events’ tool, which allows constituents to help nonprofits in whatever way they choose)

While Artez is not as well known in the US, it’s clear that they have many good ideas to help nonprofits with online fundraising initiatives.  I’m especially pleased that they chose to highlight the challenge of data integration, as well as the more traditional fundraising topics.
