Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

DECEMBER 9, 2007

Photo by Life in Africa For this week's BlogHer Holiday Guide post, I needed to come up with a list of nonprofit organizations or causes that BlogHer readers may consider making a donation to as part of their year-end giving. I have two favorites: The Sharing Foundation which supports children in Cambodia and Creative Commons.

So, the Sharing Foundation has continued to use our method of getting donated laptops in the US, refurbishing them, and getting them to Cambodia. So, maybe they will make it easier for people who want to support specific schools and children. Tharum was disappointed too. And, we can even load them up with KhmerOS !).

My fellow BlogHer co-editor, Beth Kanter , has launched a fundraising campaign using ChipIn. Between now and December 31st, Beth is working to raise $750 for the Sharing Foundation , an NGO that works with local officials, orphanages, and NGOs in Cambodia to improve children's lives. She sits on their board.

Shortly before the Blogher July 2005 conference, I got a new digital camera that came with a video feature. There has been online conversation during the past couple of weeks on vlog list , Netsquared , TechSoup and Blogher. Save the Children has posted one of the 60 second posts on Youtube. Here's a synthesis.

I attended the " Twenty-Something Meet Up " at the BlogHer Conference. If you work in nonprofits and track relevant research, you no doubt have come across the Social Citizen Blog from the Case Foundation and the paper, Social Citizen , from Allison Fine. Even though I'm more like twenty-something times 2.5, Why did I go?

You don't necessarily see women keynote at technology conferences (well accept for women focused technology conferences like blogher ), but Geoff was trying hard ensure a gender balanced program and succeeded. Geoff Livingston invited me to keynote the conference along with Shel Israel , author of Twitterville. This is just a sampling.

She cited statistics from National Science Foundation Studies. My fellow blogher, Lisa Williams , disagreed on this point. "Raising children isn't a special job, it just takes planning?" Even if you have a balance with your spouse and childcare options, it is hard to balance both demanding work and demanding children.

I ended up discovering a program, at New College of California, a couple of years later, when I was producing arts benefits for social change, especially for women and children living with HIV, this was about 1989 and 1990. One will be for mothers who are mourning the loss of their children who died in gunfights in Oakland.
