Individual Coaching Program

In an effort to support the ongoing development and effectiveness of our nonprofit partners, the Local Grantmaking program at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation is offering social media coaching to **a //very limited number// of grantee organizations that wish to improve their social media strategy or tactics.**

 Beth Kanter, Visiting Scholar in social media and nonprofits at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation (bio below), will provide the **coaching sessions, five in total over five months, beginning in August or September**. The sessions will take place either on the phone or in person (depending on the grantee location) and will be scheduled at the grantee’s convenience. During the first session, the grantee will review their experience with social media with Beth and identify an area of social media practice to improve. At the conclusion of the first session, the grantee and Beth will mutually identify a small project or experiment to try between the sessions. Subsequent sessions will build on these assignments.

 **Requirements**  //The grantee will need to commit 3-4 hours per month over a five-month period.// To get the most out of coaching, grantees should also have: ·  a formal communications strategy and Internet plan in place that identifies audience, objectives, messaging, Web site objectives, and online presence ·  a commitment to integrating social media into their organization’s strategy ·  the capacity to devote resources and time to the work in between coaching sessions
