One of the best ways to tell your nonprofit’s story is through pictures. Images of your big event as well as the community and people you serve, can help make your mission real to the rest of us (including potential donors). The great news for nonprofits with pictures to share is that Flickr, the online application that lets you share; organize; and discuss photos, is now offering free Pro accounts to any nonprofit for one year. A Pro account lets you upload more photos and create more sets of photos than a free account, so I really recommend upgrading to a Pro account (okay, there is a small admin fee, but it’s cheaper than full price).
Another recommendation is that once you go through the donation process, setup your account with your organization’s name as your account name. This way, the URL to your Flickr site will be “http://www.Flickr.com/YourNonprofitName” - which helps people find and remember your site.
To get the donation, you need to be registered at TechSoup.org. If you need to register (and I highly recommend that you do – there are loads of similar discounts and free software!) check out TechSoup’s Getting Started Guide, otherwise go straight to the Flickr donation page.
