JUNE 7, 2011

It was the optimal time for early adoption of social media by nonprofits, and it’s no coincidence that the nonprofits that embraced these new tools in 2006 through 2008 are today the most successful nonprofits on the Social Web. Be insistent and firm that your nonprofit needs to embrace social and mobile media. You are going to need it.
