Wiki Pages and Online Auctions (Part 4 of 6)
6 Unique Online Fundraising Techniques for Your Nonprofit
http://www.ephilanthropy.org/site/News2?news_iv_ct...
by Lance Trebesch and Taylor Robinson

A “wiki” is a website that can be easily edited by its users.  The most popular wiki today is Wikipedia which is an online encyclopedia where people from all over the word update and add information.  However, wiki pages can be used by your nonprofit in innovative ways to do more than simply provide basic information found on Wikipedia.  Your organization can create its own wiki pages for topics that it wants supporters to learn more about or for any topic that is critical to the overall cause or purpose of the organization.
