  • Along the line of web 2.0 and dashboarding, you can even Tweet your dashboard. Up top, you’ll se a real tweet from Peter Singer who is an Author and an anti-poverty advocate. It tells you that they only need 30 more pledges to reach 4000, and sends you to the Life You Can Save website. When you get there, it gives you not just real-time dashboard level data, but it also allows you to see where the people who have already pledged are from, see the names of people who have pledged that haven’t requested anonymity, and some statistics. Again, all this is automated, so the time that a fundraiser would have had to take in the past to aggregate, collate, and share this data, can now be used instead to help spread the word about the opportunity to give. That reminds me to mention that I believe that one of the consequences of web 2.0 for nonprofits is an almost certain merging of marketing and fundraising or development functions. Many fundraisers already wear the marketing/pr hat, either formally or informally, but the real-time opportunities for fundraising are truly beginning to merge with real-time marketing and the two need to be more closely linked than ever before.
  • We haven’t talked much about social media or what’s called “Charity or Nonprofit 2.0 yet”, but now’s a good time to do so because Twitter is an outstanding vehicle to recruit volunteers. How many of you Tweet for work? Hmmm…not many! Well we may need to change that. This slide has copies of two actual tweets. The top one was shared by good2gether.org on behalf of Habitat for Humanity, who was looking for 100 volunteers on a Saturday in August in Boston. It included a shortened url that you could click on to learn more about what they needed and how to sign up. Meals on wheels in Charleston, South Carolina sent their own tweet that told people that they currently had 39 open routes and that was up from 37 the week before. They made a direct ask, “Can you volunteer one lunch hour per week?” and then provided a link to sign up. This was actually very effective for them, and this one tweet helped them identify 7 new volunteers who made a regular weekly commitment to help. If you haven’t yet started to Tweet for work, I encourage you to test the waters and to do so, and here’s why.
