Thanks. I'll keep Convio in mind - I have connections in Austin, so that's definitely something to consider. I've been getting more involved in nonprofit work lately and have several friends ho are, as well, so we can and want to start reaching out more.
I agree about the chicken/egg problem. I had considered adding a sort of nonprofit showcase, or case studies to the site, or even just covering them on an associated blog, something. I think one of the first things I'll add next is a "tell us your story" type page where nonprofits can submit info on what they're up to and I can start building up a database of interested organizations and details about them.
I'm attending a couple of big-ish charity events soon and primarily wanted to get the site up and hopefully get a few people signed on board prior to that, work out a solid plan going forward, add what I can in the mean time, and start doing some serious promotion in about a month.
It's a bit of a catch-22 on the promotion end of things, as well. You don't want to promote an empty site, but you need to get users somehow - which is a problem I'm sure everyone on HN who's ever launched a member-based site has face, and I'd love some tips on dealing with it. Right now, I'm mostly pushing it among friends.
