NonProfits Making the Most of Social Media | Social Media Club Austin
An astonishing 97% of nonprofits are using social media. This June 19th panel, we heard from Austin NPOs about their successes & learning experiences with social media.
Operating on a shoestring budget, nonprofits are the creative experimenters of social networks - using them to spur activism, fundraise, tell their story, recruit donors and volunteers, and more. Our panelists shared how they've used different social media channels to tell their stories and earn the trust of supporters, all while avoiding the perils of donor fatigue. They also tackled the more complex issues of developing a social media strategy and reporting ROI to higher-ups in their organization.
