 6.3 Online Research Discussion

The purpose of this activity is to experience "hands-on" research of current social networking and e-fundraising. Report your findings by posting a 200-300 word discussion. The report should provide new ideas for online effectiveness, a possible critique of the site, and suggest ways you might use the information in your organization.

Lesson Six Activity: Select one networked international organization from the list below and visit their web site. Then, answer the following questions: Using the principles for marketing, what do you see as their strengths/weaknesses, particularly as relates to the use of worldwide social media and raising funds or making profits? What appealed to you most as a visitor to their website? Explain how technology has helped create international organizations and also changed our access to them. Brainstorm a way that you could apply these methods to develop an international presence in your nonprofit organization or church to make a larger impact.
