Sprouting a Cause

Deitz said several nonprofits already are using sprouts, including KaTREEna Plantometer, The Niapele Project, Every Human Has Rights, NTEN’s Nonprofit Technology Conference 2008, and $40 for 40 Years of Fair Housing.

He offered these three tips for integrating Sprout into your work.

1. “Line up partners to promote your Sprout. Widgets allow for seamless collaboration across organizations. Ask bloggers to embed your widget in a post or in their sidebar. Identify several highly trafficked Web sites to feature your widget, and ask supporters to post your widget on their social-networking profiles.”
