As Twitter and other social-networking tools become more popular in getting the word out and communicating in the nonprofit world, Kris Putnam-Walkerly has compiled a list of foundations that tweet on her Philanthropy411 blog.
Among them are some of the biggest foundations in the country, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which supports many Web 2.0 projects.
Ms. Putnam-Walkerly also includes some foreign foundations in her listing, such as the GivenGain Foundation, in Switzerland. And she goes further to help members of the philanthropic world feel more like insiders, with a short list of foundation staff members who use Twitter.
She found these tweeters through a variety of methods, but we’re interested in learning who she may have missed. Please add a comment below with any foundations that could be added.
