The Chronicle of Philanthropy: Live Discussions: Ask a question

Using Social Networks to Promote Good Causes

Tuesday, June 23, at 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time

In today's economy, nonprofit leaders need to understand how to effectively promote their organizations, programs, and fund-raising campaigns.

Many groups want to use online social networks to get their messages out but don't know how to build an image and get attention on the networks.

Join us on June 23 for an encore to our recent discussion on the best ways for nonprofit groups to use online social networks. We'll continue the conversation about how you can ensure that your organization stands out through online networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and explore how those tools can complement traditional marketing efforts.

You'll also learn how to teach your organization's leaders, staff members, and volunteers to speak with a unified voice when they seek contributions and talk to others about your organization's mission.
