Congrats to our Networked NPO winner!

Networked Nonprofit Giveaway from Schipul

So WOW!   You guys are REALLY into ‘doing good’.   We so enjoyed reading the wonderful comments from nonprofits and friends left on our ‘Networked Nonprofit Book and Training Giveaway post‘ this month.

After reading Beth Kanter and Allison Fine‘s new book ‘The Networked Nonprofit: Connecting with Social Media to Drive Change, ” our team was inspired big time.   We asked nonprofits and NPO advocates to leave a few words about the work they are doing and how they are utilizing Social Media to take things to the next level for a fun giveaway.

Let’s meet our NPO winner!

And now… without further ado, our winner of 5 copies of “The Networked Nonprofit” and a free custom Social Media training is…. Rebuilding Together San Francisco!!!

Networked Nonprofit Book & Training Giveaway

UPDATE: We have a winner!! Congrats to Rebuilding Together San Francisco!  We are beyond moved to learn about so many amazing nonprofits, thanks to all who participated – stay tuned for more upcoming NPO online marketing training!

Getting to work with nonprofits like the Houston Zoo, the Pink Ribbons Project, and the Houston Area Red Cross allows us here at Schipul to do two things we love… help organization with their web marketing efforts and focus on the ‘Do Good” part of our vision.   We also love it when other folks focus on web marketing and good-doin’…

So, we were pretty thrilled to learn of Beth Kanter and Allison Fine‘s new book ‘The Networked Nonprofit: Connecting with Social Media to Drive Change.” So, thrilled in fact, we were inspired to do a little good to celebrate the Holiday Season with a super special give-away.

What You’ll Win

In keeping with the feel good’ giving spirit of the season’ we want to help a non-profit with their web marketing efforts. We want to help an organization focused on doing good to do even more good by giving away 5 copies of ‘The Networked Non-Profit” as well as a half day ‘Social Media Book Camp” Training.

The Networked Nonprofit

Beth Kanter’s blog describes Networked Nonprofits as:

‘… simple and transparent organizations. They are easy for outsiders to get in and insiders to get out. They engage people to shape and share their work in order to raise awareness of social issues, organize communities to provide services or advocate for legislation. In the long run, they are helping to make the world a safer, fairer, healthier place to live.”

Networked Nonprofits don’t work harder or longer than other organizations, they work differently… read the full post here >>

My Top 3 Take-Aways from the book are:

  1. LOVE the very clear, direct way the book is written. Not full of fluff… it gets straight to the point and let’s nonprofits know what they need to be doing to be successful.
  2. The examples make what can seem like an intangible topic very do-able.
  3. My favorite thing about the book is it does not focus on the tools of today that may be gone tomorrow… it focuses on the fundamentals for how to use the social space to bring about change.

Wanna be a Networked Nonprofit… we wanna help!

How to Win

Enter to win by leaving a comment below and let us know:

  1. What ‘Do Good” your Non-Profit is focused on.
  2. What is one way you are using Social Media for your organization right now… not using Social Media right now? No problem. Let us know one way you see you could incorporate it in the coming year.

We will use a random integer generator to pick a winner on December 30th.

Looking forward to reading what all kinds of Do-Good Stuff you guys are up to…   so comment away and win!
