This book provides comprehensive information and real cases illustrating the policies and procedures for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) engaged in social media. More specifically, it not only provides the advantages for NPOs using social media, but also illustrates the help that stakeholders gain through thus building and sustaining relationships with their audiences, thereby facilitating the process of community building. Furthermore, this book can help stakeholders to understand the effectiveness of social media policies.
