You might remember **[my post a month or so ago](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/blogs/bryanmiller/category/facebook)**
about Facebook cancelling the account of the US National Wildlife Federation’s ‘
Ranger Rick’ because he wasn’t a real person and organisations aren’t allowed to
have Facebook profiles.

Well, with the launch of **[Facebook Pages](http://www.facebook.com/business/?pages)**
last week, any organisation or brand (commercial or nonprofit) can now promote themselves
through a page – complete with a wall, photos, discussion groups, the works.

 

In traditional Facebook style, when supporters interact with your page their actions
generate news feed items which, in turn, help spread the word of how they’ve been
engaging with your cause to all of their friends.

 

Already a range of nonprofits have set-up pages, including UNICEF, Defenders of 
Wildlife, The American Cancer Society – and, of course, the National Wildlife Federation.

 

Anyone out there doing anything interesting to engage supporters through their Facebook
Page – do let me know.

 

If you’re not already looking into it, and you have supporters you believe are likely
to be interacting through Facebook – then do go and take a look at what new opportunities
Facebook Pages offers you to engage with them.
