1) Organizations need to engage with stakeholders through social media even if they do not use social media themselves, as stakeholders increasingly relate to people rather than organizations.
2) Authentic engagement is important, and organizations need to understand who is responsible for social media efforts and properly fund them, with comparable spending to traditional media.
3) Organizations need to ensure online community engagement reflects community needs, limits misinformation, and improves perceptions by focusing on the future.
4) Digital strategies must be tailored to specific key performance indicators to maximize return on influence. Influencing key community members can help reach broader audiences

This document summarizes the Vibrant Communities Canada initiative, which aimed to reduce poverty through local multi-sector collaboration. It discusses:
1) The initiative was launched in 2002 by three national partners to test an experimental approach to poverty reduction through local action guided by five principles.
2) Thirteen communities participated as "Vibrant Communities" to build collaborations across sectors including government, business, non-profits and citizens with lived experience.

Using Social Media to Save Lives discusses how social media was used to find bone marrow donors for two friends diagnosed with leukemia.
Two friends, Sameer Bhatia and Vinay Chakravarthy, were diagnosed with leukemia and had a very low chance of finding a matching bone marrow donor due to their South Asian ethnicity. Their friends organized a social media campaign to register over 20,000 new South Asian bone marrow donors within 12 weeks. This included holding over 470 bone marrow registration drives and generating over 1 million media impressions. The campaign was successful in finding a 10/10 match for Sameer and an 8/10 match for Vinay. Both underwent transplants but ultimately passed away. However, the campaign led to

Social Recruiting in an Unsocial EnviornmentDavid Lee
The document discusses how social recruiting has changed and the importance of social media in recruiting. It begins with defining what is meant by "social" and outlines how recruiting has evolved with the rise of social networking and user-generated content online. Specifically, it notes that recruiting now involves marketing the employer brand and encouraging participation from the target audience through social media rather than just passive job postings.
The document discusses how technology can change institutions and education. It suggests tactics like using social media like Facebook and Myspace for student orientation. It also discusses using online education content and sharing best practices to build community between conferences. The document advocates making students the center of education and shifting the focus to identity development. It suggests tracking real-time student interactions and assessments through customizable identity profiles.
This document discusses social networking strategies for non-profits. It emphasizes the importance of having an online presence through social networks like Facebook and Twitter to cultivate donors, spread awareness of causes, and engage the next generation. However, it notes that simply having accounts on these sites is not enough - non-profits must develop a clear strategy, identify their target audiences, monitor engagement metrics, and experiment with content to effectively utilize social media.
Here are three policy questions I would pose based on the document:
1. How can policymakers ensure sharing platforms are producing clear public benefits beyond just commercial outcomes? Regulations may need to consider outputs like environmental, community and access impacts, not just financial sustainability.
2. What policies could support collaboration between sharing platforms, nonprofits and philanthropy to multiply their impacts? Joint projects and data/resource sharing may accelerate progress on social issues if barriers are removed.
3. How should data privacy and use policies evolve to harness the potential of user data for public good? If handled ethically and transparently, aggregate sharing data could reveal insights to tackle problems, but strong protections are also needed.
This document summarizes a presentation on leadership for a new era in nonprofits. It discusses how leadership needs to change to address today's complex operating environment. Some of the key points made include: leadership must be shared between the board and executive director through a strong partnership; the board needs to become more diverse, strategic, and accountable; and culture and values must be central to the organization. An effective board for the future requires clarifying roles, engaging in learning, and asking big questions about impact and sustainability.

Building your brand – A practical guide for nonprofit organizations4Good.org
This "brand 101″ session is designed to help nonprofit leadership and board members understand the basic concepts around developing and maintaining a strong brand.
Many entrepreneurs – social, triple bottom line or otherwise – do not avail themselves of all potential capital sources when seeking funding to grow or scale, limiting prospects to cash flow their initiatives. This seminar explores a range of options for funding: external in the marketplace, internal within an organization, new ideas and classics not to overlook.

Four Great Hormones to Stimulate Well-Being4Good.org

What do you do when someone signs up for your email list or donates to your organization? Do they have to wait until your next “monthly” newsletter to learn more about who you are and what you do? If so, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to engage, inspire and motivate your supporters to take action.
One of the best ways to engage with new subscribers (or new donors for that matter) is to create what is called a “Welcome Series” of emails. These emails are set to automatically be sent to the individual over the course of a few weeks – Day 1 they get an email, day 4 they get another email, day 8 they get yet another email, etc. These emails are designed to introduce yourself and your organization to the individual, as well as show them the impact your organization is having and why they should stay connected.
Sounds like a great idea and something all nonprofits should be doing right? The problem is that most nonprofits are not currently using a Welcome Series and are missing out on this powerful tool.

Mission and Leadership: Work Motivation That Strikes a Chord4Good.org
Most organizations have a formalized mission statement. Too often it is merely posted on a wall in the conference room. Often, employees grow cynical and state that the organization’s mission statement is just that: an empty statement. However, other organizations follow a structured process that allows their managers to lead with integrity while using the core principles of mission-driven organizations.
In this extremely practical presentation, that Dr. Eyal Ronen has never shared in the past, he will describe the practical steps to creating a clear mission, vision, and values for the organization. He will also describe the 4 things every leader must do in order to be effective in accomplishing his or her, and the organization’s mission.

In this webinar, volunteer leaders, agency CEO's and chief development officers will learn the value of diversifying the sources of revenue so as to enhance financial sustainability.
