how ngos can use social media
DESCRIPTION
Social media is a great tool that civil society organizations can use to communicate with their audience, market their services, connect with their networks or improve the way they work and promote their social development agenda. The key features of social media are participation and interaction, connecting people and providing the tools necessary to have a conversation - all important components of NGOs’ day-to-day work. This workshop looks at how the strategic use of social media helps civil society organizations reach new people, adds value to mission-driven work, supports goals to build a movement around a core advocacy issue, improves customer service or programmes, reaches new donors, and raises awareness of a nonprofit brand around the world.TRANSCRIPT

Why should my NGO care?
![Page 7: How NGOs can use Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/5556f14ed8b42a0f028b530a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Maybe you shouldn’t…
Social media is not… • Free • A silver bullet for fundraising • An opportunity to control your message • An opportunity to tell everyone what you think • Inherently appealing and cool to millenials • An alternative to clear messaging/mission
![Page 8: How NGOs can use Social Media](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052410/5556f14ed8b42a0f028b530a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Social media is… • Pretty low cost • Growing by leaps and bounds • An opportunity for conversation • A great way to reach certain audiences • A complement to the messages you’re sharing
through other channels
That said…
