The Giveaway
We believe that to be a part of the real, offline community, you need to participate by simply showing up, voicing opinion, and giving back how you can. We wholeheartedly applaud our neighbors in the community that strive to make our world a better place for all of us, one person and mission at a time. Our world is a much better place because of organizations like yours. 
Social media, and specifically Facebook, offers amazing new potential in the way of highly advanced marketing communications. Now, more than ever, organizations are perfectly positioned to become a welcome (yes, WELCOME!) part of people’s daily lives, thus creating further opportunity to create deeper, more meaningful, longer-lasting relationships that can translate into action, donations and beyond. Facebook in particular offers a unique edge that other mediums do not, in that it offers users the chance to pick the brands and organizations they like in real life, and to then “like” them on Facebook, thus opting into continual stream of brief communications on an ongoing basis that they can interact with and find true value in. This unprecedented power grants amazing opportunity, but it must be wielded with respect and proper understanding. While efforts to create a Facebook page with limited knowledge are certainly a step in the right direction, a plan, knowledge of best practices, and a knowledge base of pitfalls to avoid is the key to a successful presence in your online community, and further success with your offline community.
We want to help you further your mission via social media, and we’re very excited to do this with you. We will pick 2 of the best suited organizations that we feel can benefit from Facebook outreach the most .
