“Philanthropy 2.0″
By Jamie Shapiro
I found this post about a project that three guys are taking on called “Philanthropy 2.0.” They feel that in this new-age the 1.0 ways of reaching people are dead and non-profit organizations are having trouble with this. They do not understand the powers of social media yet and these three guys want to help. They have posted a survey in their post to help them with their project. I took it, and it just asks you some general information about you and then some information about charitable organizations you donate to. I think this is a great project because it will really help non-profit organizations build their donor base if they can get the word out through social media. This is definitely a good way to use the power of social media for good and help non-profit organizations out in a tough economic time.
Take a look at the post and take the survey at:
