If your nonprofit isn’t using social media yet, it’s time to think about it! A new report from Talance due February 2009 explores how non-profits in Massachusetts are using social media – or if they’re using it at all. Sign up for notification.
The report is based on a benchmarking survey conducted in November 2008 among Massachusetts non-profits and covers:
- Social media adoption rates
- The importance of social media for non-profits on fund-raising, marketing and community-building
- How people are learning about social media
- Future trends in social media
A few early results reveal:
- While more than half of respondents are familiar with blogs, the majority are only vaguely familiar with microblogging sites such as Twitter
- 65% of respondents either are currently using or plan to use blogs
- Only 20% consider social media unimportant to donor engagement
