Clients often feel more comfortable with people who share similarities, as Cecala (2016) notes from her experience.

All of these strategies take time and resources, but of different kinds. I know a lot of the free site tools, wikis like wetpaint.com, keep trying to move to become more social, and let the audience/membership interact more – that is definitely related.

At least in Massachusetts, the majority of nonprofits work with network support people who don’t focus totally on nonprofit organizations (there are some wonderful exceptions, however, of companies that focus on the sector.)
