Social Media Resources for Nonprofits

By: Amber Morris | 08/05/2010

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?
