The top five nonprofits listed here in each category were ranked based on total expenses provided by Charity Navigator. Universities, hospitals, 501c4's and donor-advised funds are not included in the report. The numbers we have reported were rounded to the nearest whole number. During the week of October 26th we took these lists of the top five nonprofits and generated metrics to determine how different verticals were utilizing social media. We analyzed the following metrics over a 2 month period ending 10/26/2011 People "talking about this" via manual look-up on Twitter mentions of other Twitter Number of Tweets via historical users by nonprofit organizational accounts via a manual count of tweet record on SnapBird.org organizational Facebook Pages Twitter mentions of nonprofit organizations via Radianó search historical tweet record on The number of staff involved in social media was gathered through emails and direct interviews with nonprofit staff at the relevant organizations SnapBird.org Number of Facebook Posts via manual count on organizational Facebook Pages The number of staff involved in social media was gathered through emails and direct interviews with nonprofit staff at the relevant organizations. It was these metrics that led us to determine how the top nonprofits utilize social media, and whether social media impact varies by area of focus within the nonprofit sector. Animal organizations seem to top the metrics we tracked. However, it is noteworthy that all five of the top animal organizations employ professional staff to work at least part time on social media. While it is interesting to see the variations in social media use by area of focus among nonprofits, the bottom line is that your priority should be to foster conversations, relationships, and interactions within your own community, whether it's 2,000 or 200,000 people. Work to move "your people" up the ladder of engagement. But know it will take an investment of staff time and resources to achieve this.

The top five nonprofits listed here in each category were ranked based on total expenses provided by Charity Navigator. Universities, hospitals, 501c4's and donor-advised funds are not included in the report. The numbers we have reported were rounded to the nearest whole number. During the week of October 26th we took these lists of the top five nonprofits and generated metrics to determine how different verticals were utilizing social media. We analyzed the following metrics over a 2 month period ending 10/26/2011 People "talking about this" via manual look-up on Twitter mentions of other Twitter Number of Tweets via historical users by nonprofit organizational accounts via a manual count of tweet record on SnapBird.org organizational Facebook Pages Twitter mentions of nonprofit organizations via Radianó search historical tweet record on The number of staff involved in social media was gathered through emails and direct interviews with nonprofit staff at the relevant organizations SnapBird.org Number of Facebook Posts via manual count on organizational Facebook Pages The number of staff involved in social media was gathered through emails and direct interviews with nonprofit staff at the relevant organizations. It was these metrics that led us to determine how the top nonprofits utilize social media, and whether social media impact varies by area of focus within the nonprofit sector. Animal organizations seem to top the metrics we tracked. However, it is noteworthy that all five of the top animal organizations employ professional staff to work at least part time on social media. While it is interesting to see the variations in social media use by area of focus among nonprofits, the bottom line is that your priority should be to foster conversations, relationships, and interactions within your own community, whether it's 2,000 or 200,000 people.
