A Brief Blog Profile: OneOC
by Thomas Hynes
The thinking behind OneOC is that every nonprofit is passionate. "But desire alone is rarely enough to propel an organization to achieve its goals." The thinking is that even if profit is absent from the business model, there still has to be a business model. Charity is great, but charity is even better when it's sustainable. This blog looks to help organizations balance their passion with the realities of bottom lines and expenditures.
As you might have guessed, the OC in OneOC stands for Orange County, California. It's not exactly breaking news to say that Orange County is wealthy. In fact, it's one of the wealthiest areas of the United States. It follows that there would probably be a decent amount of disposable income lying around a place like this, a significant amount which could be allocated to those less fortunate. OneOC is here to help those financial efforts reach their full potential.
There are posts on the IRS and compliance. This post points outlines what tacos (yes, tacos) can teach us about competition. And this post discusses the importance of finding the right balance with regard to executive compensation. But, also, it's not all about money. Energy, time and creativity are a big part of the nonprofit world. And as this post points out, everyone has something to give.

ProfNet Connect
ProfNet Connect is a free, interactive online community where PR professionals, experts, and media professionals can network and engage with one another. Via profiles, forums and blogs, subject-matter experts can position themselves as the go-to source for content creators and journalists. In turn, content creators can search the site by keyword to find the experts they need. The site also features enhanced profile capabilities, allowing users to easily add multimedia components -- photos, videos, white papers and more -- to their profiles.
News Widget
Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
