Social Media 101-NP –
“Integrating Social Media into Your
Nonprofit Marketing & Fundraising Plan”
For nonprofits to be successful, it is critical that they understand the principles of effective marketing and how to apply it to their organization. It is also critical that they are familiar with all the marketing tools available to them and how they can aid in fundraising. Social media applications are just a few of the newest tools being utilized by nonprofits to create awareness and raise funds. But are they appropriate for your organization and do you have the time and resources necessary to utilize them effectively?
In Social Media 101, we will discuss the basics of Facebook, Twitter and blogging as they relate to an integrated marketing and fundraising strategy. We will review their features, and discuss the benefits and value of adding them into to your existing marketing plan and fundraising campaigns. We will also review a real case study that utilized a variety of social media applications to create awareness, build community and raise significant funds.
Participants will leave with a greater understanding of how social media applications can be used in their organization to increase awareness, build community and raise funds to further the success of their mission.

“The Marketing 101 workshop helped us create a marketing plan using a basic outline. The outline expedited an easy step by step process to think and plan with our own non-profit in mind. A great tool which I completed by myself after brainstorming with a few others.”
