CONCLUSION To raise awareness among donors, non profits have a new platform to spread their message: social media. Social networks are a minor category of social media; however they are able to engage donors, capture their attention and spread awareness. Fundraising techniques have evolved over the years, adapting themselves to the new information and communication scenario. Speaking of new media is almost obsolete. What we are experiencing now is a new era, the era of "New Internet". When non profits unify fundraising techniques with social media, social fundraising is the result. Websites, blogs, marketing are part of the modern techniques.
