My contribution to the panel is to provide context about the use of social media in emergency and disaster response as well as an overview of some of the tools we saw deployed last year and we may see in the future. Whether it’s direct or indirect content, why do citizens turn to social media in moments of need or disaster?

Overall, groups were split on whether they raised more or less overall digital revenue than end-of-year 2020 — in fact, our sample was split exactly 50/50! We know that IOS and cookie changes are already changing what we know about how donors interact with ads and email. Kinda like…2021. Others, not so much. In 2021, same.

Amy Sample Ward, NetSquared. When disaster strikes, we want information as soon as possible and we want to help just as quickly. But the way we think about and turn to social media in a time of disaster is changing. 100% of donations went directly to disaster relief. How can we do that? What's Changing?

As we emerge from the depths of the pandemic, we must remember that never in the history of the United States have we experienced an equitable recovery to a disaster or recession. Start by creating sample scripts for thank-you calls, emails, and cards and ask your team to thank your major donors. It has been quite a year. Keep growing.
