Our mission is to spur responsible adoption of social web tools by social benefit organizations. There's a whole new generation of online tools available – tools that make it easier than ever before to collaborate, share information and mobilize support. These tools include blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, podcasting, and more. Some people describe them as "Web 2.0"; we call them the social web, because their power comes from the relationships they enable.

Why social benefit organizations need Net²

Non-profits and NGOs thrive on relationships – which means the social web holds tremendous potential to transform their effectiveness and impact. We want to help you build the strategic capacity, knowledge and skills you need to put these powerful new online tools to work achieving positive changes.
