You've heard it before: You only get one chance to make a first impression. And more often than not, that first impression is created online. The Internet is the first place people go for information on virtually everything. Which is precisely why an online presence is critical to any Jewish Federation.
33% of Jewish households relocate every five years. They need a community. And they look online to find it. A good website tells the world that you're relevant. People looking for information expect to find it online, and so posting it online-on your own website-meets their expectations. Your website serves a variety of functions, from a virtual "info. hub"-listing event information or community resources-to a donor recognition tool. It can serve as a campaign resource for the Case for Giving and can also provide local news. Your website can also facilitate online registration for a particular event or open up a dialogue among browsers.
The Web can also be used for online giving. Online giving is the single cheapest, fastest, and most efficient fundraising vehicle in existence. And it's only possible through the Internet. So if you don't yet have a mechanism for collecting online donations (i.e., accepting credit cards), it's time to start. And the best place to start is UJCweb.
