Well, these websites are really doing their job in a perfect way. They are improving their quality and accessibility with the time and working for non-profit organization is something really heart touching. Thumbs Up for all these!

One time my friend told me that he had a facebook fan page for organization and he couldn’t send message to the members. I suggested him to make facebook group instead. Can you compare which one is better (related with the functionality of messaging) for non-profit org) between Page and Group of Facebook?

Hi, I am from Malaysia. Facebook and Twitter are becoming increasingly popular marketing tools for corporate companies in my country but hardly being used by non-profit organizations here. I wonder if there is a guide book to teach non-profit organizations how to leverage social media websites to raise funds. I will bookmark this page to revisit again just in case someone answer my question.

I just wanted to say that I am very pleased that people found this article useful, that really means a lot to me. The more I am exploring the non-profit space, the more I realize that non-profits are not aware of the advantages they have, especially in social media.

In fact, my company is hosting a seminar for non-profits, which explores Social media, SEO, and PPC opportunities available to non-profits. The event filled within 2 weeks! Just glad we can help out.

If anybody has any questions, or is interested in learning more about the PPC and SEO opportunities available, leave a comment (or visit my site). I’d love to help.

I thought I’d come back with a little update. I mentioned above that I was going to forward this article to a couple friends working with non-profits. I did and they were most appreciative.

I think social media is REALLY overestimated when it comes to regular marketing, but for nonprofit organizations it must be great. People usually have some kind of relation to one or more nonprofits, and when joining for example Red Cross` group on Facebook you do it because you are interested, not because you wanna buy something; furthermore, you probably also know that they do not want to sell you anything just because you join their group, even though you DO have the possibility to donate money if you feel like. And the chance of people doing that is a lot bigger if the payment info is right in front of them on Facebook rather than the person having to Google his or her way to the payment page.

Thanks for highlighting the non-profit channel on YouTube. I also was not aware of this! It does seem to provide some real benefits in allowing viewers to search specifically for non-profit related content. The criteria is slightly restrictive however in excluding religious, political and lobbying organisations…

I think you are totally right that organisations really need to be careful of falling into the spam trap when it comes to their use of facebook and twitter especially. This is where it becomes vital for orgs to develop a strategic social media plan and have dedicated staff to maintain these channels where possible. Social media can no longer be looked upon as an extra task for existing members of staff who are already overloaded with work. I think it takes a lot of time to use these channels to maximum benefit.

You are completely right about it. Social media is the way to go for non profits!!! They are getting an enormous exposure for nothing. This is incredible.

Interesting points on social media and non-profits. Social media (including blogging) is an essential tool for building identity and authority online. I was not aware of the YouTube Non-Profit program and will pass this info along. Thanks.
