Facebook has become interwoven into the modern communication landscape. Many organizations have recognized this trend and chosen to create their own pages in order to spread brand awareness, communicate directly with supporters, and even solicit salesand donations. The power of social mediais real, and when you have an audience that has opted in to read your communications, you are that much further along in creating loyal donors and volunteers.


With limited budgets and the proliferation of information on the Internet, it’s questionable whether or not a nonprofit organization should go to the expense and logistics of sending staff members to technology conferences.
Chances are, your nonprofit organization does more than one thing. Your end goal may be to get abandoned animals adopted, to raise money for cancer research, or to provide food to families struggling to get by. But in pursuit of that mission, you must typically solicit support in the form of volunteers, in-kind donations, and financial contributions.
It’s pretty clear that nonprofits can benefit from having a web site, but getting one up and running can be a daunting prospect. In most cases, there isn’t a lot of money in the budget for such things, especially when money is earmarked for the important work your organization does. Many nonprofits shoestring their web sites by having volunteers or staff create them, rather than turning to more costly options.
