2011 Mashable nominees for awards in social media: Seven non-profits get the nod

It’s almost time to roll out the red carpet. Mashable has announced its 2011 nominees for awards in social media. Voting closes Dec. 16, and winners will be announced on Dec. 19 before the Jan. 11 MashBash in Las Vegas.

Of greatest interest to Fundly are the nominees for Must-Follow Non-Profits. The list was determined by Mashable readers who identified these non-profits as most worthy of being followed on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, or other popular social networking sites.  Here’s who made it:

(1)   The Trevor Project which provides crisis and suicide prevention services to LGBTGQ youth.

(2)   Teach for America which connects top college grads with low-income students deserving of a top-notch education.

(3)   The Human Rights Campaign which works to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender equality.

(4)   GLAAD which builds support for equality by amplifying the voice of the LGBT community and holding the media accountable.

(5)   The Joyful Heart Foundation which works to heal, educate, and empower survivors.

(6)   The One Campaign which works to fight poverty and preventable disease around the world.

(7)   Fuck Cancer which works to promote awareness of the importance of early detection of all cancers.

In addition to Must-Follow Non-Profit on Social Media, there are nominees in eight categories: Best Social Network, Up-and-Coming Social Media Service, Must-Follow Actor or Actress on Social Media, Must-Follow Musician or Band on Social Media, Must-Follow Athlete on Social Media, Must-Follow Media Personality on Social Media, Must Follow-Business Personality on Social Media, and the Must-Follow Politician on Social Media.
