Organization Support

Helping Keep Things Moving

Small organizations accomplish amazing things — often with a small staff, a dedicated board, and a group of hardworking volunteers.

But finding volunteers can be difficult, and even the most dedicated volunteers only have so many hours available.

The website needs an update. The next event needs to be posted. Members need to hear about something. A newsletter is due. Membership information needs attention. Someone has a new form that needs to go online.

Individually, these may be small jobs.

Together, they can become a lot to keep up with.

Zehr.net can help.

You May Not Need Another Employee

Many organizations do not have enough administrative or communications work to justify another part-time or full-time employee.

But they may still need a few hours of experienced help each month.

Zehr.net can provide ongoing digital and information support that works alongside your board, staff, and volunteers.

You provide the information and organizational knowledge. We help organize it, prepare it, publish it, and keep things moving.

Website Updates & Maintenance

Website support has been at the center of Zehr.net for decades.

Instead of waiting until someone has time to learn how to update the website, send us the information.

We can help with:

• Routine website updates
• News and announcements
• Upcoming events
• Photos and project updates
• Forms and downloadable documents
• Board and leadership information
• Membership information
• New pages and sections
• Accessibility improvements
• Ongoing website maintenance and security

Newsletters & Member Communications

Sometimes the hardest part of producing a newsletter is simply finding the time to pull everything together.

You may already have the information. One person has an event announcement. Someone else has photos. A board member has an update. There are several dates members need to know.

Send us the pieces.

Zehr.net can help organize supplied information into clear communications for your members, prepare newsletter content, create website versions of important information, and help keep communications consistent across your website and other digital channels.

Your organization remains the source and final authority for the information. We help turn what you provide into useful, readable communication.

Membership Support

Membership is the heart of many associations, clubs, and nonprofit organizations.

Zehr.net can help support the digital side of membership, including:

• Online membership forms
• Membership renewals
• Member information and resources
• Membership lists and data organization
• Email and communication lists
• Online payments where appropriate
• Member-only website resources
• Membership reminders and announcements

The goal is not to replace the people who know your members. It is to make the routine digital work easier to manage.

Events, Meetings & Calendars

Organizations are constantly creating dates that someone needs to remember.

Meetings. Fundraisers. Conferences. Trail rides. Club activities. Registration deadlines. Community events. Volunteer days.

We can help keep those dates organized and visible through:

• Website event calendars
• Event pages
• Registration forms
• Meeting notices
• Event reminders
• Schedule changes
• Post-event photos and follow-up information

Forms, Information & Digital Organization

Over time, organizations accumulate information.

Forms become outdated. Important documents are difficult to find. Several versions of the same information may exist. A useful resource may be buried several levels deep in the website.

Sometimes the problem is not creating more information. It is organizing what you already have.

Zehr.net can help review, organize, update, and present information so members and visitors can more easily find what they need.

Human Support Powered by Modern Tools

Modern tools, including artificial intelligence, can make it much faster to organize information, prepare drafts, summarize supplied material, and turn rough notes into useful communications.

But technology should support people — not replace judgment.

Zehr.net combines modern tools with human review, decades of website experience, and an understanding that every organization communicates a little differently.

Your organization provides the knowledge, direction, and final approval. We provide the technical and communication support needed to turn that information into something useful.

Support That Can Grow With Your Needs

Some organizations may only need occasional help.

Others may benefit from ongoing monthly support that combines website maintenance, events, newsletters, membership information, and routine digital communications.

We can start small.

As we learn how your organization works, we can identify the areas where a little additional support saves your staff and volunteers the most time.

Let Your Volunteers Do What They Do Best

Volunteers give their time because they care about the mission of an organization.

Their limited time should not necessarily be spent fighting with a website, formatting a newsletter, updating an event calendar, or trying to remember how an online form works.

Let them concentrate on the work that brought them to your organization in the first place.

Zehr.net can help with the digital work behind it.

Let's Talk

If your organization has more website, membership, event, or communication work than your staff and volunteers have time to handle, tell us what is falling behind.

You may not need another employee.

You may simply need a little experienced help.
