Social Media Fundraising In Online Networks Community

Fundraising in Online Social Networks : No Country for Old Media Presented by David J. Neff @daveiam [email_address]

Fundraising Online is in bite sized chunks.
Obama: Three million donors made a total of 6.5 million donations online.
Of those 6.5 million donations, six million were in increments of 100 dollars or less.
The average online donation was 80 dollars.

Social Media needs to be defined as a
group think mentality around your message.
People are going to talk about your message.
Deal with it. Encourage it.

If there is a Online Social Network you should be in it. Own your spaces.
Your audience of donors already is.
Facebook has 350 million + users.
More than 35 million users update their status each day
More than 3.5 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, etc.) shared each week
