One of the best and highest uses of social media is in supporting nonprofits. I’m constantly fascinated by the new ways nonprofits are being challenged to reach beyond traditional doorways to find new ways to raise money, community and awareness.
One such recent campaign is the Choose You Campaign by the American Cancer Society. It combines social networks, blogging and fundraising all within a platform designed to encourage health. I’m loving it. If you haven’t signed up yet, you should!
In San Antonio, we’ve hosted an Action Camp specifically for nonprofits who want to be more involved in mindful communications through social media. Rackspace recently held a nonprofit summit. We’re following both of those up with what we hope will be a growing community of charities interested in using social networks for the greater good.
Our first event, SMOOCH Coffee Hour, will be held June 2. You can get all the details and register by clicking here to go to our wordpress blog.
If you are involved with a nonprofit, we hope you’ll join us!
