From the basics of setting up a page to the logistics of handling criticism, Andrew Noyes knows a thing or two about connecting people to your cause. As the Manager of Public Policy Communications for Facebook, he’s helping make the world a more connected place. The WhatGives!? crew spoke to Noyes while at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service (NCVS) in New York last month. In this interview, Noyes talks about the opportunities the platform provides to nonprofits, and offers his insight on why it’s important to let your community be involved just as much as you (as a nonprofit) are. He also talks about the enduring popularity of the Causes application, targeting your supporters via ads, handling negative comments, and lots more. Watch it now!
How are you taking advantage of Facebook? Are you using our WhatGives!? PayPal Donation Widget to fundraise and spread your message, or the easy applications from Involver? What would you like to learn more about? Tell us in the comments! You know I love to write about all things Facebook.
Whatever your nonprofit’s commitment level may be, it’s clear that Facebook is a worthwhile investment of time and resources. With 500 million users (and growing) making it the second most visited site in the world, it’s no wonder nonprofits and brands are turning to Facebook to build community. Opportunities are knocking and it’s getting more crowded each and every day. How are YOU answering the call?
