The 2011 Nonprofit Social Network Benchmark Report found that 30% of Master Fundraisers – those that brought in more than $100,000 – were small organizations and a further 8% were medium-sized. It turns out that nonprofits of all sizes are able to scale their fundraising efforts on social networks.

When our editorial committee decided on “Content Curation” as the overall theme of this issue when planning back in 2011, we knew that it would be an important topic for the nonprofit sector, but we didn’t anticipate that, in some ways, 2012 would turn out to be the year of content curation , as Beth Kanter predicted in January.

While we took a look at the number of tech staff benchmark in the first post in this series, I'd like to now turn to the org staff-per-tech staff benchmark. Recommendations: From NTEN's perspective, this provides more valuable considerations for nonprofit leaders when determing their staffing needs and their long-term strategic planning.

We rolled out ProvingIt.org in October 2011. Anybody could observe our progress, at any time. And when we fail, the donor would be notified at the same time as the executive director. It isn’t perfect. In fact, we think of it like a small bicycle on a freeway. But it is exactly what we wanted to get us started.

In January 2011, at a gathering hosted by TechSoup Global, we began talking about how to model our own ideals. In summer 2011, we received funding from Microsoft to bring our groups together to answer at least one question: which nonprofits do our organizations serve separately, and collectively.
