Turning Traditional Donors into Online Evangelists

2,384 views

Published on

Nonprofit organizations are challenged translating the value of social and digital platforms to their base of traditional donors. "Traditionalists" don’t use social media to support causes online, if they use social media at all. "Mainstreeters" are hesitant to use it to support their causes. This presentation covers: who is a Traditionalist and Mainstreeter, how do they hear about your organization, what are they looking for from you, and a strategy to empower these donors with the knowledge, tools, and resources to use social and digital platforms for your organization.
