Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

AUGUST 17, 2010

In 2008, I was honored to be on one of the few nonprofit panels on the agenda. Kanter will bring together a group of highly visible free agents working on important social change causes and representatives from different nonprofits for a lively discussion with the audience. It was organized by Ed Schipul. Trust me.

Mastering each tool individually seems like a lot of work and a lot of people give up even before they begin. However, very few people use these terms precisely and almost nobody agrees on the exact definition of these terms. Open group blogs, photo pools, video collages and similar projects are also good examples of co-creation.

Replies only appear in your intended recipients stream and in those of people who follow both you and the recipient, so don't be afraid to have conversations with your supporters. Look beyond what you need people to do (whether it's giving money, volunteering, taking action, etc.). other content i might want to tweet about?

The goal is to encourage nonprofits to make New Year's resolutions to that help them more efficiently and effectively move people to support their organizations. But, maybe you've done some of that thinking and implemented a few focused social media experiments in 2008 and have gleaned some insights. Good for you! Great work.

We would love feedback on the site and we are interested in having groups that share our agenda promote the site as well as grab and embed the media materials for their own use. There are many possible areas of cooperation with other groups, including a push soon to do home screenings of a documentary series on global development issues.

For many people who find you online, your website is the organization. Your website should tell people who you and what you do. Consider the groups you will want to track or by which you will want to arrange members: donors, activists, organizers, stakeholders, partners, volunteers, supporters, and so on.
