Pushing Power To The Edges

An important report focused in large part on online advocacy, non-profits, and the role of philanthropy was recently released.

  Steven Clift recommends folks read it:http://evolvefoundation.org/?q=pacesummary

  Clift - This line caught my eye:

    "The key to understanding online civic engagement is not to focus on
    the latest tool or even the latest tactic. Rather, the key is to
    recognize that engaging people and organizations in this new
    environment requires new ways of thinking and new organizational
    models in order to build a more informed and engaged citizenry."

While my use own use the term "online civic engagement" tends to first focus on the need for democratic online applications that bring citizens (and
advocates) together online who hold different perspectives, online education for advocacy has a huge potential in the 501.c3 (tax-exempt non-profit world).
