Social Media as a Fundraising Tool 101

[Emily Davis]

What is social media? What is web 2.0? Why should I care and how is it going to impact my nonprofit's bottom line? Around every corner you turn these days we hear about social media, bloggers, social networking. The list goes on and on. EDA Consulting is hosting a low-cost webinar to show you just what these tools are, how you can use them, and how to connect them directly to fundraising and communications.

Using social media is just one tool for developing you fundraising and communications strategy. They are an entry point and can be used as part of a larger plan to help you achieve your funding goals. We will look at models such as Students for a Free Tibet and the Obama campaign as prime examples of how organizations can raise tens of thousands and even millions of dollars through social media. Just like that crazy thing called the internet, it looks as though social media is here to stay, so take a short time to learn more about it from the comfort of your own computer.

Emily Davis will facilitate the training, answer your questions, and help you to walk away with a clearer sense of what this whole social media concept is and how it can benefit you and your organization.
