People believe that it’s the little things in life that matter the most, so where are all of the service providers that work with small nonprofits?

Well, on June 18th they were in Portland, Oregon at the Willamette Valley Development Officers (WVDO): Nonprofit Fundraising Tech Fair.  The WVDO Technology Fair was a day-long event for nonprofits with budgets under $5,000,000. The fair was held by WVDO, a member-based organization that is open to anyone who engages in professional fundraising activities with the goal to improve non-profits and the communities they serve. The fair featured numerous vendors who focus on helping small and growing nonprofits.

We’re sharing insights about a few the vendors that participated:
