In August 2009, an email was sent to 7,500 subscribers of The Chronicle of Philanthropy inviting them to take the online survey designed to discover how nonprofits are using social media in their fundraising and outreach activities. Topics covered in this survey include: types of social media nonprofits are participating in, length of time participating in social media, specific tools used when participating in social media, types of activities performed when participating in social media, success with social media participation to date, acceptance of online donations.
