At the risk of being reminded this isn't an airport, we want to let you know why this account has been quiet.

We shared in our June newsletter that we had pulled our advertising from Facebook and Instagram and also stopped posting. We've weighed our small financial and content contributions to Facebook against our values for a while now, so it's not a snap decision. We recognize that not every nonprofit would arrive at the same conclusion or has the privilege to walk away.

We'll keep the accounts open. We're often tagged in photos during the Nonprofit Technology Conference and because some local clubs use groups to organize.

Dozens of community members responded to the newsletter to share both their personal and professional thoughts. Many people have asked for further discussion, so we're organizing a call for later this month. Once the details are set, we'll share them on Twitter and LinkedIn, where we're maintaining our presence. Thanks for being here with us and we hope we'll see you on the call.
