While nonprofit organizations struggle with very limited resources, they do have one enormous resource with huge potential—the Internet.  Social media and online marketing offer a wealth of low-cost opportunities for nonprofits to reach volunteers and donors. These opportunities, used correctly, can also provide a new way to raise awareness and funds, collaborate, spread your message, and empower people. Participants should be able to identify and determine the best use of social marketing strategies, tools, and tactics to help meet organization mission. Led by David Welch.
