If an organization cannot afford to purchase a domain name and maintain a website, Facebook allows the organization to create a “fan page” for free. A fan page works similarly to a website and allows a clearinghouse to inform others about its mission and goals, invite members, send status updates and messages to fans, post information about upcoming events and conferences, upload photos, share videos, and even promote its fan page with a Facebook advertisement. A budding NGO can work entirely from a Facebook fan page in the beginning. Keep in mind, however, that Facebook has its limitations—your audience is limited to the users of Facebook and, more specifically, only those who have become your “fans.” It is not as professional as a website and it does not allow a clearinghouse to have all the features a website might have. Many organizations use Facebook as a supplement to a website. |
