You work hard to ensure you are maximizing community impact but do you have all the tools in your toolbox to lift up your grantees? Learn how new media tools can help you tell your grantee’s stories, deepen community connections and advocate for your cause. Have you thought about using Twitter or google hangouts but aren’t sure if it is a good use of your time? Have you been approached by a long-time grantee who has an idea to create a film dedicated to highlighting their cause – and wondering if this is a good use of your philanthropic dollars? Have you been told to have a website but not sure it is worth the bother? Are you interested in learning how to leverage the reputation of the foundation in the twittersphere to make a difference in issues you care about? Do you want to know how can you help your grantees make the most of the many new ways to connect and share their message with potential donors and supporters? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then make plans to listen in on this cutting edge webinar on new media tools for family philanthropy, sharing the stories of foundation leaders and donors engaged in each of the above approaches.

The comments on the unintended consequences of social media use was helpful, as well as the idea of grantees being guest bloggers.

I particularly appreciated Kate’s perspective on opening the “floor” to all members of the staff. Loved the intention behind Jay’s family’s efforts. Even the simple way they shared the frequency of their social media efforts was helpful!
