This month's Net2ThinkTank question was, How Can Nonprofits Use Flickr? Below is a round up of your answers:
Joe Solomon recommends checking out Beth Kanter's Flickr and Nonprofits Primer, and the socialmedia4change wiki for examples.
Beth Kanter points to the TechSoup article, How Nonprofits Can Get The Most out of Flickr, and suggests asking Steve Bridger, the Flickr for Good Evangelist in the UK, for ideas.
Steve Bridger writes that one of the ways nonprofits can use Flickr is to capture evidence:
Joseph Kimojino is the head of tourism & anti-animal harassment for Mara Conservancy. He does a great job of using his Flickr account to capture photo evidence of poaching & then demonstrates the impact of supporter giving through his blog.
Global Teenage Project uses Flickr to generate traffic, and reduce server storage space.
OpenGreenMap.org has mashed-up Flickr's API code to showcase images of green living sites, and of natural and cultural resources submitted by Mapmakers, and the website's users.
Katya Andresen posted 4 Tips for Using Photos Online.
Emily's World posted 4 Ways Nonprofits Can Use Flickr.
Kath says that they use Flickr to document change over time, in their case, as they build an innovative, new playground at their school.
Jayne Cravens used Flickr to document her work for the UN in Afghanistan.
One of the main reasons cmartin82's organization created a Flickr account was to put photos up for the local media to access when they want to feature them in a story.
You can see more examples of how nonprofits are using Flickr, and learn how to be one of the 10,000 nonprofit organizations to receive a free 1-year Flickr pro account by visiting Flick for Good and TechSoup.
