For the first time in many months, I’ve created a new resource on my web site for nonprofits: How Your Nonprofit Can Have a Wikipedia Page (& if it can’t, why not).
Not every nonprofit, NGO, charity, cause-based initiative, etc., needs a Wikipedia page. And not every nonprofit will qualify to have a Wikipedia page. But if you feel your nonprofit deserves a Wikipedia page, or you want certain Wikipedia pages to mention your nonprofit or some prominent person associated with your nonprofit, this resource is for you.
As someone that’s created more than a dozen Wikipedia pages that have not been deleted, I know what I’m talking about.
If you have benefited from this blog or other parts of my web site and would like to support the time that went into researching information, developing material, preparing articles, updating pages, etc. (I receive no funding for this work), here is how you can help.
Jayne, thanks for both the timely reminder and great resource backing it up. We’ve been looking at ways to increase our visibility online and I’m embarrassed to say no one even considered Wikipedia. I even had to check that MAVA didn’t already have a page. I’ve shared this with our communications staffer as a possible project for an intern to dig into this summer. Much appreciated!
