A written Social Media Policy provides guidelines on the acceptable use of social media for a nonprofit organization's employees and volunteers. Many nonprofit organizations use social media as a way to connect and build relationships with individuals to raise awareness about their programs.

This template contains a sample policy that can be used in the creation of a social media policy.

As with any policy of this nature, the NFP may wish to consult legal counsel for assistance in developing a social media policy that is appropriate for the organization.
