Currently (on my lowly grad student budget), I only give money to one nonprofit org. While I'm clearly an advocate for the effectiveness of building an online community, sometimes you just have to talk directly to the people. They send me letters tailored to my interests, and they're clearly very connected to current events.

once people realize that they can give to any nonprofit on social media sites like Change.org without providing a snail mail address (I always give my email address), the young folks will defect in mass from giving via the orgs Web site.

Lastly, you can shamelessly plug LWB.

Tim says MySpace is not good for fundraising, although we have seen some examples of orgs running successful fundraising campaigns, such as Dollars for Darfur. Regardless, very few orgs (though some) have raised real cash via the Causes app. But 36% discovered them through a friend’s profile. On YouTube : everyone loves video.

We know that lots of orgs have heard some variation of this from their bosses—“We need to get on the Twitter!” Ive seen many orgs that seem to want numbers for the sake of numbers: when they dont want to think things through clearly, rather than understand the goals and missions and then take a quantitative view.

Often I find with orgs that I work with, someone will send an email to their "all staff" email list that says basically: "OMG! " And if its a sufficiently compelling case, it gets approved and the org goes on to write a wonky boring email about it to send to members. Did you see this?! All rights reserved.
