Maybe you should pitch a few of them with your services and help them get there minus some of the mistakes others have made along the way since I know you're pretty familiar with social media. :) Well Dan, I know you’re a writer.

I tend to spread things around, often to more urgent needs like disaster relief rather than having a specific causes I'm always behind. There are two exceptions: public radio and a grassroots political organization (which one isn't important). They do have something in common -- they both are "in touch" regularly, either on my radio or in my email box. You do feel like you have a sort of relationship with the organization (I think NPR does a great job for example of reminding listeners how important they are to the org for example). So I agree with you completely. When you form real relationships, donors think about you more often. When they're ready to give, you'll be one of the first groups they think of.

Social media seems to have only just arrived in the north of England - non-profit, private and public sector companies all appear to be moving into the 21st century this year (if not a few years too late!). Very interested article, Jenn.

While there were always some wide-reaching approaches, a lot of that outreach (especially in volunteer recruitment and fundraising) was done on a one-on-one basis before. While that's still important especially in larger-level fundraising efforts, it's nice to have tools that enable nonprofits to reach the Average Joes and Janes a bit more effectively. Briana -- I can see what you're saying too. It does makes sense that communities would be more involved in causes they're passionate about than engaging with companies over products and services. Of course I have no doubt social media can be used effectively in both arenas. But the nonprofit one seems to be a very natural fit. Natalie -- You're welcome. :) Anastasia — I can definitely see outreach being easier with social media tools available than it used to be.

After establishing a social media presence and connecting with supporters online on of the biggest challenges NPOs face is turning these online donors into long term supporters. The best way is through building relationships and listening. It all takes work, but with effort and engagement these networks really do pay off. Thanks for a great round up.
