You see, your annual fundraising plan is a treasure map that leads you to the exact activities that will raise the most money for your nonprofit over the course of the coming year.

Although I sometimes hear from colleagues that “Facebook is personal and fun stuff” or just a lot of skepticism about how a particular social networking platform can provide professional value, it isn’t about the platform.
