Lessons Non-Profit Organizations Can Learn About Blogging
Recently, a blog post we wrote for a client was quoted in a news story published by a national newswire. It’s good news for our client who gained some exposure. It’s also good news for us because it demonstrates to our client we’re doing our job well. I have hesitated to post about this “success” because the blog post referenced was a remembrance of one of the organization’s supporters who recently passed away. However, I think this particular post and the reference to it offers some lessons non-profit organizations can learn about blogging.
It’s happened. Your nonprofit's board of directors asked you about using social media for your non-profit. Now it’s up to you and your staff to figure out which social networks to use, when to post, and what to post.
If you think about the most polite, social people on earth, you'll think of the South. After all, we're known for our church suppers, our ability to know everyone in our community, and our willingness to help when it’s needed. Mississippi consistently ranks at the top of polls of the most charitable states.
Your non-profit’s budget likely includes a large chunk of funds focused on providing services directly to the people you want to help. Your mission and the hearts of your volunteers and donors are focused on this group. But how do you make sure the people who need your services know you are available to help? How do you attract new donors and volunteers who, like you, want to give back?
