How to Share Nonprofit Research With a Wide Audience

Tuesday, October 20, at 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time

Foundations, universities, charities, advocacy groups and many other types of nonprofit organizations are producing reams of research. Yet few know how to make sure their findings reach the widest audience possible.

How can nonprofit groups make sure the research they conduct reaches a broad audience of not only other researches, but journalists, policy makers, educators, and others? How do you attract interest in your group's research and how can you identify those that would be most interested?

Join us Tuesday October 20 at noon Eastern time when three experts will answer those questions and many more related to getting your research out to a wide audience.
