After President Obama's 2008 election campaign raised more than $500-million online and recruited 13 million supporters, it created a new approach to fund raising and activism.

What can charities learn from the Obama campaign and other online political efforts? And what new strategies are political campaigns using to raise money and generate publicity this year?

Join us on Election Day, Tuesday November 2, at noon U.S. Eastern time, when an expert who worked with the Obama campaign, will be available to answer questions and discuss what nonprofit leaders can learn from political fund raisers.
