Cloud-era and Social Media Technologies Expand Reach of Nonprofits
New cloud-era and social media technologies, including SlideRocket, Twitter, Facebook and others, provide greater opportunities for nonprofit organizations to reach like-minded people, fundraise, and, ultimately, make a difference.
“Charitable organizations are facing stiff competition in garnering attention in 2012,” said Diane Solinger. “The SlideRocket “Make an Impact” Nonprofit Presentation Contest and campaign, can help nonprofits rise above the noise to raise awareness and attract donations by tapping into new communication tools and social promotion channels.”
For example, contest judge, Roger Doiron’s SlideRocket social presentation on kitchen gardens garnered national recognition and support for Kitchen Gardeners International’s mission to empower individuals, families, and communities to achieve greater levels of food self-reliance. As a result of their efforts across diverse social media platforms, Doiron and his organization achieved one of its goals – a White House food garden in the U.S. capital.
Nonprofit organizations can get started with SlideRocket today by visiting the SlideRocket Inspiration Gallery, which is filled with presentations that can quickly and easily amplify their story and make an impact.
