During this Tech Trends Webinar, we will cover how you can use technology to learn:

  • Why so many nonprofit communities are overfed with content but undernourished in connection
    The basics of community building: trust, belonging, repetition, member-to-member connection, and clear participation pathways
  • How to design simple 1:1 or small-group connection programs without adding another login, app, or forum to manage
  • How Community Hives supports branded sign-up pages, flexible intake, automated matching, reminders, feedback, and sponsor visibility
  • Real lessons from The Nonprofit Hive, including 3,100+ members, 40%+ email open rates, 130+ weeks active, and strong 1:1 match retention
  • Practical ways nonprofits, associations, funders, alumni networks, and communities of practice can use connection tech to deepen engagement

About The Nonprofit Hive: Community Hives helps mission-driven organizations build real connection without creating another platform their members have to manage. The platform makes it easy to run branded 1:1 or small-group connection programs using simple sign-up pages, flexible intake questions, automated reminders, feedback forms, and an admin dashboard. Built from the real-world experience of The Nonprofit Hive, Community Hives is designed for nonprofits, associations, communities of practice, alumni networks, funders, and movement-building organizations that want their people to meet each other, learn from each other, and feel more connected to the work. What makes Community Hives different is that it is low-barrier by design. No logins. No app downloads. No massive community platform to moderate. Just intentional, repeatable connection that helps people build trust, share wisdom, and stay close to the mission.
