This Facebook strategy workshop was shared at a Nonprofit Resource Center workshop at the Womens Resource Center of Manatee County. Presented by Susie Bowie and Suzanne Dameron. Thanks to everyone who joined us!
9. What we’re NOT saying: Social media is the right communications tool for every… * relationship * audience * need But, it IS a tool we can’t ignore. It’s part of the plan.
20. Social media is SOCIAL. Short term: conversations Long term: relationships
21. Social media is not a billboard for your nonprofit’s announcements. We’re officially begging you to donate & come to our events we invite you to on Facebook. Now be quiet.
22. 2. Social media—like other forms of communication—insists that you ask: “Where does my audience live & what do they like?”
23. 3. Like dating, social media involves TIME, TRUST and VALUE.
24. 4. It’s not if you’re going to play but when you’re going to play.
25. 60% of all donors—online and offline—did research online before giving.(Source: Kintera) It’s about much more than your website.
68. Make it boring or irrelevant to your mission. Talk like a text book & with jargon vs. like a friendly conversation. Make itoverly sad, negative or hopeless. Post something that doesn’t add value. Be afraid to show personality. Don’t respond to comments.
99. Nearly 85% of nonprofit survey respondents committed at least ¼ of a full time staff member to maintaining their social networking presence in 2009. Two thirds committed ¼ to ½ of a full-time resource. Source: 2010 Nonprofit Social Network Survey 59

I ‘m just going to be honest about this. The time management gripes about social media drive me nuts. In the end, you’ll just have to decide if social media is worth some of your time or not. And if it is, there are a few things you can be mindful of that will really help…In the 2010 Nonprofit Social Network Survey, nearly 85% of nonprofit survey respondents committed at least ¼ of a full time staff member to maintaining their social networking presence in 2009. Two thirds committed ¼ to ½ of a full-time resource.

These are your “ground rules.” Written social media guidelines that are incorporated into your nonprofit’s employee handbook will help protect you, give your staff and volunteers an idea of what’s okay to mention in this sort of forum. If you did get an inappropriate post, they’ll also provide a framework for reporting that person so they aren’t able to post or comment any longer.
