About Links4.net

John Donne had it right. No man is an island, entire of itself. No business or nonprofit either. We need each other to survive.

That’s the whole idea behind Links4.net. We’re all about an alliance between small local nonprofits and small local business where each benefits from interaction with the other.

Nonprofits have donors, clients and staff – all potential customers for businesses.

Businesses have goods and services nonprofits need – not to mention customers who are potential donors to the nonprofit.

By working together, each can help the other. And that’s why there’s a Links4.net.

Who’s behind Links4.net?

Links4.net is the brainchild of Stamford community leader and veteran Glenn Wecker. Glenn is serving on the board of the Stamford Animal Shelter Alliance. He has served on the St. John’s Community Foundation’s Board, was a member of the original steering committee for Neighbor’s Link (now Building One Community). He has been active in supporting Habitat for Humanity, and the Foodbank of Connecticut.

Glenn’s decades of experience in business with startups, large companies and a business of his own has led him to conclude that the last, best hope for small local businesses and nonprofits is to work together, to feed on eachother’s strengths and to erase weaknesses. He founded Links4.net to help make that happen.

Glenn is assisted in this effort by a group of like-minded experts in marketing, e-commerce and communications.

The Problem

Donations to small local, non-profits are down significantly. The impact of this decline has been especially painful for small, local non-profits.

In the retail, manufacturing and service industries, competition from retail giants and national companies in the service industries has seriously reduced the likelihood of survival.

The Solution

Build A "Community"

Links4.net fosters alliances among small, local non-profits and local businesses, using the power of the internet. Links4.net revitalizes the concept of “community”, a key element of stable societies.
