Wisdom is the reward for a lifetime of listening ... when you'd have preferred to talk.
-D. J. Kaufman
"The Internet abounds with social-networking tools raising money for good works... but social media are no gold mine for do-gooders," reports the Economist (January 7, 2012). "Fewer than half the non-profits surveyed in the latest Nonprofit Social Network Benchmark report got more than $10,000 a year from Facebook, and only 0.4% reported raising $100,000 or more."
"Allison Fine, co-author of The Networked Nonprofit, argues that social media offers a handy, low-cost way to build a network of supporters who share ideas and information. But donations come only when the bonds are strong and the network is big..."
A study from Georgetown University found that "Americans who back causes through social media are often active in other ways too. So a campaign that does not raise money at first may still lure supporters — and potential future donors."
Exchange has two practical guidebooks for running non profit child care programs. If you buy both books, you can enjoy a 20% discount.
