Non Profit Marketing 360

MARCH 15, 2012

Last week we promised to discuss the connection that can be made between your nonprofit’s Tumblr site and RSS Readers around the world. Thus far in this series we have focused on the Tumblr side of things, but today it might be of greater value to focus on RSS, what it is and how it can be used as a means to keep your audiences fully up-to-date with your work. The meaning of the acronym ‘ RSS ‘has been debated, but not hotly.

We continued our series on Tumblr yesterday with some guidance to get your nonprofit’s blog out via an RSS feed that allows people to subscribe to your site. The great aspect of setting an RSS feed for your organization’s blog is that you encourage people to subscribe to your feed, then outreach to your supporters is automatic. RSS remains one of the great untapped resources of the internet, despite the fact it has been around since the mid-1990s.

So many organizations I follow or work with have become strong and savvy communicators. It’s thrilling to see nonprofits like yours put communications to work effectively despite time, talent, and budget constraints. . However, there’s one communications method that remains poorly utilized by most organizations—media relations.

Twitter allows people to communicate with large audiences about big and little things important to them or to their nonprofit.
