I am not Tina Lee… Pleased to join you on the occasion of the release of new report by colleague Tina Lee, “Mobilizing…” Tina’s not with us today because she’s at home with her 4.5 day old daughter Lexie PHOTO – Today’s convening is dedicated to Lexie [come back] In working closely with Tina over the last 8 months, I can tell you she’s very excited about this report and the opportunity to spark further discussion Research is modest in scope, yet jumping off point: How funders can best support nonprifts in leveraging newer technology tools and strategies to advance their social change goals From Egypt to East LA, we’re seeing inspiring examples of how tech can help amplify advocacy efforts Tina says it really well in the Introduction the Report: Advanced technologies in Web 2.0, social media, and mobile and cloud computing have become essential and integral to the operations of highly effective organizations throughout the U.S. and beyond, both in the private, public and nonprofit sectors. When used effectively, these tools can help an organization increase operational efficiency, lower operating costs, expand market reach, drive revenue, foster brand loyalty, and spur and accelerate innovation and organizational improvement. And as these new technologies become more ubiquitous and pervasive in the everyday lives of average Americans, forcing even greater numbers of organizations to adopt them, the use of these tools will become more a matter of survival rather than competitive advantage. Advocacy organizations in the nonprofit sector are not immune to such market changes. In fact, those that continue to find themselves unable to integrate some combination of Web 2.0, social media, and mobile and cloud computing technologies will increasingly come to experience – at best – stymied market growth, deterioration in supporter-base, and growing difficulty in affecting social impact.
