The Networked Nonprofit Book Arrived!

Yesterday,  an advanced copy of our book, The Networked Nonprofit, arrived.  My son, Harry, who is in video making summer camp, decided to make a little movie of me opening the book!

Book Winner

Today, I taught a workshop in Santa Cruz hosted by the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz and supported by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.  I, of course, raffled it off in exchange for people filling out index cards with their planned first steps into social media.  The lucky winner was Lorraine from the local chapter of the Red Cross.

You are invited to a virtual book launch party! Join Allison Fine and me on June 21st at 1-2 PM PST/4-5 PM EST for the launch of  The Networked Nonprofit published by Jossey-Bass.   Our party goal: Make The Networked Nonprofit a top ten bestseller in Amazon.com’s business book section before the book is issued (Official release date: July 9).

Whether you want to watch Allison and I  live on your computer or just chat with us on Twitter, the party will be a blast.   (I promise to bring my finger puppets)

And if you are going to buy a copy, please wait until the party and to preorder your copy on Amazon.  Together as a group we can make The Networked Nonprofit a business bestsellers! Plus,  I’m donating all of my profits to the Sharing Foundation, which helps to care for Cambodia’s children. Allison is donating to the Hope for Henry Foundation, which provides gifts to children in hospitals with chronic diseases.

So, it is very important to me that you purchase the book on June 21st.  It’s another way that I am raising money for my favorite charity,  Sharing Foundation. If you have followed my work over the years, you already know the very personal reasons why Cambodia is in my heart.

I’ve combined my passion for teaching nonprofits effective social media practice with raising money on social networks to support disadvantaged Cambodia children and young people.     From the beginning, I’ve opened sourced everything I’ve learned so you too could apply the lessons to your work.    So, it makes perfect sense for me to have the book also support kids in Cambodia.

And if you are going to buy a copy, please wait until the party and purchase your copy on Amazon.  Together as a group we can make The Networked Nonprofit a best seller AND help kids in Cambodia!    In addition, the guiding principles in the book will help your nonprofit transform itself into a networked nonprofit that can address many pressing social change issues.

During the next two weeks leading up to the virtual launch, I will be blogging daily brief posts about some of the ideas and concepts in the Networked Nonprofit.   I will also be guest blogging in other locations.   I will be reminding you about the Virtual Book Launch Party and fundraiser for the Sharing Foundation on June 21st.  I hope you’ll not only order the book, but also spread the word to your professional colleagues!    The Virtual Launch Day on June 21st kicks off two weeks of book parties, speaking engagements, and other ways to celebrate.

See on you June 21st 1 PDT/4 EDT!  RSVP here.
