Online social media is becoming a prominent source of information, with over 54% of adults utilizing the various platforms for news, according to the Pew Research Center. However, recent surveys revealed that half of nonprofits do not have an online marketing campaign to promote themselves and their services. As it stands currently, only 50% of nonprofits have a high success rate according to Network Depot.

"The purpose of the Charity Coalition is to promote the success of local nonprofits through attaining new skills and creating new partnerships," said Lisa Mansell, Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology in Clearwater.
