Seminar Description:

This workshop will be an interactive conversation about the business case for social media campaigns in nonprofit organizations. The conversation will be focused on using new social media tools to broaden donor constituencies and to enhance stewardship activities. The “viral” spread of information via social media will be addressed with recommendations for nonprofits to make best use of a communication medium in which the organization does not fully control the message. We will also discuss economically feasible ways for nonprofits to engage in digital communication without requiring new investment in digital arts staff people. Finally, we will discuss comparisons between engaging social media for philanthropic purposes and political campaigns that solicit contributions via electronic means.
