Social Media & Non-Profits

                                Jeffrey M. Goldscher | President | Havit Advertising
          Vice-President, Board of Directors | Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults
Why Social Media for non-profits?
 This is the question the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young
| Adults (UCF) asked ourselves as a non-profit back in
  February.
    • Economy’s hurt fundraising
    • We needed to mobilize volunteers
    • Looking at existing budget, where can we cut costs
                            |
    • How do we find new ways to accomplish our mission
      to Educate, Connect, Support


The answer seemed obvious – we needed to get smarter
 quickly about Social Media.
.
What have we done?
A whole lot, but not enough:
 • Got everyone online and connected
   • Primarily Twitter and Facebook
 • Figured out what to say and when to say it
   • Great for news and information; Bad for advice and
     debate
 • Organizationally, committed assets
   • Interns hired to monitor social media landscape ongoing
 • Using to promote events and fundraising
   • Our “Team Fight” program uses online as a primary way
     to communicate
Do we have any answers?

Some, but not enough. This medium is still new and requires
constant engagement and awareness of new technology.
• Appointed Board Social Media Committee
   • Vet new technology & direct organization
• Work closely with interns & Staff
   • Ongoing daily commitment to use technology
• Monitor and learn from other non-profits
   • Read, explore and participate every chance you get
• Monitor and learn from for-profit business
   • Ask “how can that work for us”?
How do I get started?
• Sign up at Twitter, follow interesting people
  • @LIVESTRONGCEO(Livestrong CEO Doug Ulman),
    @mcuban (Mark Cuban, Owner Dallas Mavericks),
    @the_real_shaq (Shaquille O’Neil, NBA Player),
    @jgoldscher (me)
• Join other non-profits on Facebook
  • “Non-profits on Facebook”
  • “Facebook Marketing Solutions”
• Beth’s Blog: How Nonprofits can use Social Media
  • http://beth.typepad.com
What do I recommend?

• Be authentic


• Be active


• Be aware
