**Having a social media measurement plan and approach can no longer be an after–
thought. It is a requirement of success. As nonprofits refine their social media
practice, their boards are expecting reports showing results.**

As funders provide grants to support programmes that include social media, they 
too want to see results. This book offers the tools and strategies needed for nonprofits
that need reliable and measurable data from their social media efforts. Using these
tools will not only improve a nonprofit’s decision making process but will produce
results–driven metrics for staff and stakeholders.

 * A hands-on resource for nonprofit professionals who must be able to accurately
   measure the results of their social media ventures
 * Written by popular nonprofit blogger Beth Kanter and measurement expert Katie
   Delahaye Paine
 * Filled with tools, strategies, and illustrative examples that are highly accessible
   for nonprofit professionals

This important resource will give savvy nonprofit professionals the information 
needed to produce measurable results for their social media.

This book is a follow-up to Beth Kanter’s _The Networked Nonprofit_.
