Note from Beth: Last week, Washington, DC held its first ever Give to the Max Day where 1300 nonprofits were fundraising and experimenting with social media tools and raised over $2 million in 24 hours. The campaign was modeled after the grand daddy of match days that happens throughout the entire state of Minnesota.

Note from Beth: The 3rd annual Minnesota Give to Max Day took place last month. And every year, the good folks in Minnesota share their results and lessons learned. Minnesota’s ‘Networked Nonprofits’ raised $13.4M million was raised to benefit Minnesota nonprofit organizations. Social media strategy payoff.

Note From Beth: I’m a huge fan of Giving Days because they raise the awareness, engagement, and donations to nonprofits and being generous. Last week, we watched as a national day of giving and awareness campaign for “Giving Tuesday” unfold and spur spikes in donations. Social media specific webinars.

It was good opportunity for me to look back at the crowdsourcing chapter in our book, The Networked Nonprofit , and update the examples and thinking. The presentation was followed by a discussion about how one might evaluate efforts to engage crowds. How Does Your Nonprofit Work With Crowds by Beth Kanter. Crowdsourcing 101.
