As one of the most recognizable nonprofits in the world, Habitat is far behind much smaller nonprofits in social networking best practices. I just wrote a press release for a newly launched nonprofit community named Grateful Nation http://www.gratefulnation.org/. Grateful Nation is a social networking community linked to a prominent nonprofit Boston medical center. In the community, members are given multiple options to volunteer and create simultaneous online/offline fundraising events. Really pretty innovative. Constituents are encouraged online to Organize an Event, Participate in an Event, Support an Event, Volunteer at an Event, plus view an informative archive of Past Events. I am sure this online social activity has a positive effect on awareness and donations. Tom, this is a surprising and fascinating critique of Habitat for Humanity’s (lack) of social media leveraging.
