Many nonprofit organizations are floundering in this set-me-free world powered by social media. The Networked Nonprofit (Jossey Bass, July 2010), a new book by Beth Kanter and Demos Senior Fellow Allison Fine, enables them to overcome their fears of losing control and evolve to meet the informational and cultural needs of today's donor and volunteer.

The book offers a set of guiding principles to help nonprofit leaders navigate the transition from top-down institutions to a networked approach, enabled by social media.

The Networked Nonprofit offers specific strategies for implementation, exercises, how-to's, and secrets to success, drawing on in-depth interviews with current nonprofit managers that have used new social media tools effectively.
