Durham Region, Ontario – The Not for
Profit News Network of Durham Region is quickly expanding in the
number of organizations taking part in the network. Community based
groups, non for profit, and charitable organizations help each other
out by sharing each others news and events through their social media
channels.
Only one month old, the network has
over ten organizations taking part.
The Not for Profit News Network of
Durham Region was created by Robert MacArthur. Robert has been on
the board of numerous organizations and got the idea while watching
organizations present at the Rotary Club of Ajax's weekly lunch
meeting. From these meetings, Robert got the idea to create a
community based cable show, called Helping Durham Region, that
interviews community groups and organizations. To help build on the
exposure the show gives organizations, the Not for Profit News
Network of Durham Region was created.
“We have a lot of great organizations
and groups that help Durham Region residents,” says MacArthur, “but
these organizations really have a hard time getting the word out on
what they do, and what residents can do for them. When organizations
cross promote each others events and news, they all share and they
all win.”
Currently, the Not for Profit News
Network of Durham Region shares the organizations news and events on
a blog, and through Facebook and Twitter. There is no cost for
organizations to become part of the network. Those interested in the
information can visit the blog at www.nfpnndurham.org.
Organizations that are interested in
joining the network can contact Robert MacArthur through his web site
at www.robmac.org.
