An Interview With Josh Horwitz, Executive Director, Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence

FS: How do you engage donors and other supporters and potential supporters in ways other than purely fundraising efforts?
JH: We have a strong social-media presence that is growing every day. Through this, we are able to stay in constant communication with our current donors and supporters, as well as reach a wide pool of potential supporters with timely, provocative content. As an advocacy organization, we use these channels to facilitate meetings between constituents and their elected officials and generate calls to decision makers. We also use social media to connect grassroots activists to each other to help them organize more effectively. Beyond fundraising, we empower our supporters to get politically active.
