If you haven't heard of Facebook, I'm sorry to break it to you, but you are living under a rock. However, if you haven't seen a use for Facebook for your organization, then you are not alone, and we are here to help. Many people view online social networking tools, such as Facebook , LinkedIn , and Myspace as time-draining distractions.

O ne of the most effective social media tools available to small non-profits are embeddable widgets. Chris Garrett and I mentioned during the Philanthropy.com chat , it’s best to ask visitors to your Facebook page for specific and doable actions.

Youtube videos, fundraising widgets and social networking widgets can empower your fans to take action for your non-profit.
Microactions are key
