Hi Kate-

Thanks so much for joining the conversation here and sharing your
experience! I have heard from many other members of small organizations,
even mid-sized organizations, saying the same thing. They don’t have the
bandwidth to beat the algorithm underlying JUMO and get their content,
message, and so forth actually in front of people. I am hoping to see some
changes and evolution to the platform.

Thanks again for sharing and I hope that as a sector we can help guide
platforms towards a space that helps all of us!

We have a lot to say and are a leader in our field. But because of our fiscal sponsor, we can’t accept donations via Jumo. And I don’t see a system by which we could submit blog content–but bigger groups are already right there, front and center.

Jumo appears to promote the biggest, name-brand organizations, like Greenpeace. I mean, I love GreenPeace, but you can find them without Jumo. For us, as a small nonprofit, it seems like a competition we could never win, rather than an opportunity to introduce ourselves to people interested in our work. It’s a little depressing.

Thanks for adding your post here, Ian, and sharing your feedback. I feel
like you are probably not alone, I haven’t gone back either – and guess many
others haven’t as well.

Maybe once more bugs are worked out they will focus on really zeroing in on
the need and building towards that? We’ll see!

Thanks again,
a

As well as the bugs, the main problem for me is it is not clear who or what Jumo is for. It appears to be trying to meet several needs that are not necessarily compatible. A month after writing my blog on this I’ve only gone back there once, so I suppose I’m voting with my feet.
