I'm moderating a panel at SXSWi called "Crowdsourcing Innovative Social Change." The panelists include Amy Sample Ward, Holly Ross, David Neff, and Kari Dunn Saratovsky.
Everywhere you turn, you're hearing about social media. Especially when it comes to fundraising. We know that social media is good for a lot more than raising money. We know that social media can be used to change the world. That's why we're asking you to share your case study so we can feature it on our SXSWi panel.
We're looking for stories and examples of how nonprofits have leveraged social media tools in their program work. Have you used social media as part of your volunteer or board recruitment strategy, outreach or educational program delivery, crowdsourcing ideas for program development, professional development or integrated in other areas of your nonprofit's work? We want to know about it
And the best part - We'll choose three case studies to be featured at our SXSWi session and, of course, add the information to the WeAreMedia Wiki.
Submit your case study here
Consider: Charity: Water's use of mycharitywater.org ... launched in September, and raised $1M online by December 31st... Very innovative use of social media, in concert with daily conversations on Twitter (1.2M followers), to drive audience and donations.

Christel House is using Extraordinaries micro-volunteering tools and loving it! Sharing study tips, quotes and messages of encouragement to kids trying to break free from poverty. If you need a panelist, Ben or Jacob are great - I'll also suggest they submit. http://bit.ly/8uQ29e
