About Free Tool Friday

Do you like free tools that help you be more effective at your job? Well apparently you aren’t alone.  When we blogged on our 19 favorite free tools for non profits it became one of our most popular posts. We’re keeping it going with Free Tool Friday!  Every Friday we’ll post a new tool that we think will help you communicate better and help your nonprofit’s mission.

Some fine print: 
Neither Mixtape Communications  or Zan McColloch-Lussier  get a kick back or any financial benefit from this service or tool. We feel like it is a good resource for non profits but we didn’t create it. So please check it out and make sure it is right for your organization. If we recommend a tool or resource on Free Tool Friday and you discover that it is crap, not actually free, or something is funky about it, please let us know.
