Social media is a HUGE cultural trend affecting fundraising and research. Are you familiar with the social media playing field and how it impacts fundraising and prospect research?
In the On Social Media edition of Prospect Research Perspectives magazine, we give you the big picture on how social media is interacting with fundraising and the actions prospect research professionals can take to stay on the cutting edge.
The articles have been written by two veterans in the field, Jennifer Filla and Sarah Bernstein. Let them share with you the theory and practical strategies and tips they learned from interviews and thorough research.
Imagine the next time you are in a departmental meeting and the topic of social media comes up. How cool would it be if you were the one who could speak knowledgeably about the trends and best practices and how they related to your information systems?
You have the initiative – you just need to know the lay of the social media land!

Whether your nonprofit is actively involved in promoting its cause and gathering data via social media or you are simply interested in the concept, this magazine would be a great resource. With a variety of articles, this magazine contains information on virtually every facet of the social media world that a prospect researcher could desire.
I loved how the authors not only interviewed researchers in the field, but also included timely discussions from PRSPCT-L and graphics to make the information more user-friendly and relatable. I especially found the articles on social media influencers and social media ethics to be intriguing as these are topics that I have faced in my own position as a researcher.
I think it would be beneficial for every research shop to have at least one copy of this magazine for its researchers to refer to, if only so that they know they are not alone as they fall into the confusion and tangled web that can be finding and utilizing data in and from social media.
