This interview with Danielle Brigida, an Operations Coordinator for the National Wildlife Federation, gives us a general overview of how non-profits can use Twitter to generate support. She offers a golden piece of advice:

Start slow, listen and understand the space before you jump in. Don’t follow too many people initially–but follow people who share your interests or who are local to your area. Grow organically and be authentic. Talk to people like they are your friends, not like you are trying to advertise. I think the most important thing you can do is be real and ask for help when you need it.
