The Chronicle's current issue includes an examination of how some nonprofit groups are using the social-networking site Twitter to raise awareness and money: http://philanthropy.com/free/articles/v21/i09/09001401.htmAs an extension of that story, I'd like to use this forum as a place to collect a list of charities, foundations, and others in the nonprofit world that are using Twitter. Please feel free to share the name of your group and your Twitter handle -- and share some info on how you are using the tool for your group. And we won't even limit you to 140 characters. |

We do this by providing a unique combination of financial assistance and patient advocacy.

My twitter handle is: rarenaud I post comments about women and philanthropy; women working their way out of poverty; inspirational quotes; thoughtprovoking questions; world news about about developing countries where Opportunity International serves 1.2 million microfinance clients. Every now and then I feature our www.optinnow.org site as a place where people can learn more about the power of microfinance and have the ability to help fund a loan for a poor working entrepeneur. |
