• How are other nonprofits using Facebook?
• How does word-of-mouth marketing work on Facebook?
• Can you actually raise money with Facebook?
• What are the fundamental competencies for success on Facebook?
• Who should be managing the Facebook page? interns? staff? volunteers?
• How can we develop a framework for content?
