Here's another useful tip I picked up at a recent seminar by Ted Hart, ACFRE: As your nonprofit starts connecting and creating dialogue with people though sites like Facebook and Twitter, think also about whether a more narrowly defined social networking site would be a good place to establish a presence.
Some sites' themes offer promising matches with cause-related interests.
There are sites for people with disabilities, new moms, artists, a variety of ethnic groups, and so on.
I'm assuming you can skip the site called VampireFreaks (for "Goths and industrial subculture"), as well as those for knitters and Danish teens, but who knows?
For a detailed list of sites, including information on which have open membership policies, see the list provided on Wikipedia.
