I've been in brainstorm mode for a panel called Social and Nonprofits ROI: Case Study Slam that I submitted.

In June 2007, I presented my first social media training to a small group of nonprofits in Lowell, MA. 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.

There absolutely is a math to social and mobile media. It’s a strategy that I have been using, testing, and adapting since @NonprofitOrgs first launched on Myspace in 2006 and now there’s an ever-increasing flow of data being released that proves that social and mobile media are, in fact, powerful fundraising tools.

Finding the ROI. One reason for the disconnect between stated belief in video and video budgets has been the lack of hard data about the return on investment (ROI). It’s no surprise that a tactic with a cost is high and unclear ROI gets minimal resources. Video is cool, but it is also expensive (in time and money).
