I appreciate your efforts to bring together the QB non-profit community. As a QSP we have been working with non-profits for 16 years and I know of only one other who has a significant track record in that regard - we partnered at a national conference a few years ago to introduce QB. I think that one of the issue is that QB hasn't officially recognized non-profit as an industry focus so it's a challenge for non-profit prospects to find resources, connections and such. A number of years ago QB featured a non-profit at Empower and raised $10k for them - one of our clients as it happened - but that program was discontinued with the initial sale by Intuit. Hopefully it could be resurrected. It might be interesting to organize a periodic Zoom networking call for non-profits so they could discuss issues of common interest. Let me know how I can help out.

Hi Cullen,

The thought of doing a few more zoom meet ups for those interested in meeting others in their industry is something we have been chatting about around the office. A way for us to help people meet and connect knowing that so many live industry events have had to cancel or be put on hold. Non-profit is one where the networking session we had at Empower went really well, and we know it is an industry where it can be hard to find others since they can be so spread out geographically. For the program you mentioned that pre-dates me being at QB a bit but it is certainly something I can look into a bit more. Thanks for reaching out and I'll definitely touch base with you as things take a bit more shape. I would say you should also think about joining up on the Slack channel as well if you haven't. Have a great day!
