Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

NOVEMBER 13, 2006

I'm thinking about the use of video or vlog posts coupled with fundraising widgets as well as some other possible ways (ad revenue from web videos?) to raise money for sponsoring a college student in Cambodia via the Sharing Foundation. Chipin, the fundraising widget I'm testing for my campaign, offers video integration.

I'm taking a deep breath to capture the learnings and roll them into the next steps for my personal fundraising campaign on behalf of the Sharing Foundation 's College Sponsorship Program and Leng Sopharath. In the past, I've solicited mostly friends and family for fundraising causes. I'm not a marketing or fundraising professional.

Over the next four years, innovative organizations will use technology to transfer to individuals the reins on everything from program work and evaluation to fundraising and communications.

Include outreach to bloggers as part of your online fundraising campaigns. Why not ask your supporters how many of them have a blog or web site where they would be willing to promote your fundraising campaign? For example, here is a post that I wrote from Aspiration Tech's Nonprofit Developer's Summit for NetSquared blog readers.

For the past year, I have been writing for NetSquared about nonprofits and NGOs that are using the social web to cultivate donors, advocates and activists for their organization and their cause. When Oxfam contacted Rowse they said that Blogging for Chickens was, "one of the more interesting fundraisers that they’ve seen."
