Beth Kanter Freaking RULES

So, I feel I’ve been quite explicit about this matter: social networking is good, very good, for non-profits.  The Twittering, the Facebooking, the what-have-you. . . all these activities can be incredibly fortuitous for your organization, I think you should get on it, like, yesterday, blah blah blah.  You’ve heard this from me too many times already in the short life of this blog. . . however, today I thought I’d share my favorite resource for ideas on how to actually accomplish fundraising and mission-spreading goals using these tools: Beth Kanter’s blog.

Beth has worked in the non-profit sector for 30 years and she has a nearly endless knowledge base to draw from.  She is also a savvy user of newish social networking technology to further her own personal and professional goals and is a preeminent scholar of the social networking medium as a vehicle for change.  Her blog is incredibly comprehensive, compassionate, whip-smart, funny, and has a big heart proudly beating with social conscience.  She offers practical information on how to use technology in positive, communicative ways (which is what we’re all about), like here, here and here.  In short, we at DonationPay think Ms. Kanter keeps a pretty perfect blog and we can’t recommend her highly enough.

Observe how she spent her 53rd birthday this month, for instance.
