I recently presented to the board of a local nonprofit. The organization dabbled in social media, but it’s board wanted to learn more and see what other nonprofits were doing, before beginning its long-term strategic planning.
In the process of building the presentation, I uncovered many great social media resources for nonprofits. I also added a few tools I think are helpful for any organization.
Do you have others to add to the list?
