Non-profits Profiting By Using the Web

September 12, 2007

Read/WriteWeb is doing a feature series on non-profits and web this week.

In 2007, with the enormous popularity of social networks, non-profits have even more ways to reach their target audience. Change.org, a social network for social activism that we profiled at the beginning of this year, is one example of the current generation of Web enabled non-profits.

They are going to take a look at how non-profit organizations use the Web and the tools available for them. Today they did a nice write-up on how non-profits are profiting from social media services Facebook and Myspace.

Amid all the hoopla over social networks Facebook and MySpace, both major social networks have prominant sections for non-profit activity. Facebook’s is called Causes and MySpace’s is Impact. In this post we’ll take a closer look at how Facebook and MySpace cater to non-profits.

They plan on doing a follow-up on smaller non-profits. If you are interested in learning about how non-profits are making use of the web this is a series worth keeping an eye on.
