Description
Social networking is transforming how people think about and support causes, how groups of people share ideas, and how donors and grantees interact. Today’s online communities are more than places to post photos or find a date. They are channels for building social capital and reaching new audiences to promote issues such as decreasing poverty, reducing health disparities, and supporting education. They are a means to transforming citizens into philanthropists and increasing nonprofits’ access to new donors. In this session, you’ll get an up-close look at some of the most effective online communities and programs and learn how philanthropies can use online space for the greater good.
