To capitalize on these platforms, you need smart strategies.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re new to social media or looking to improve your organization\u2019s posting strategies, this guide will show you how to craft impactful content and engage your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Share_emotional_stories_about_your_mission\"><\/span>1. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share emotional stories about your mission.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storytelling is crucial when promoting your nonprofit on social media. By sharing emotional, relatable narratives about who you serve or who supports your nonprofit, you connect real people to your work.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might post a photo of one of your shelter\u2019s rescued dogs with its new family, highlighting how donations provided medical care that made the adoption possible. Not only is this an effective <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ecardwidget.com\/donor-recognition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">form of donor recognition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but it could encourage others to donate as well. Or, you could post an interview with a volunteer who helped your disaster relief organization rebuild a house after a devastating fire, inspiring others to get involved.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stories like these humanize your cause and inspire people to contribute, volunteer, or share your mission with their networks. Be sure to link your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fundrazr.com\/pages\/donation-form-for-nonprofit\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">donation form<\/mark><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or volunteer page. When telling stories, focus on these angles:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Success:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Share stories that highlight your nonprofit\u2019s tangible impact and inspire hope.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Urgency:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Emphasize time-sensitive needs or situations to encourage quick action.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Statistics: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use data to provide credibility and communicate the scale of issues your nonprofit addresses.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Quotes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bring authenticity to stories by including impactful quotes from beneficiaries or supporters.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Humor:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lighten the tone when appropriate, using humor to make messages relatable and memorable.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aim to include some form of storytelling in around four of every five posts. That way, you\u2019ll post inspiring content and avoid coming across as overly promotional online. In contrast, if you ask for donations in every other post, followers might not engage with your content.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Incorporate_powerful_visuals_into_your_nonprofits_social_media_posts\"><\/span>2. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorporate powerful visuals into your nonprofit\u2019s social media posts.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crackitt.com\/state-of-visual-content-marketing-videos-images-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook posts with images<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> garner 2.3x more engagement, while posts on X (formerly Twitter) with images receive 150% more reposts.

Simple, clean designs with balanced spacing and readable text will make your visuals more effective.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set your nonprofit up for success by investing in a professional graphic designer or design service.

That\u2019s where content curation comes in handy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Curating content involves finding and sharing relevant material from trusted external sources that align with your nonprofit\u2019s mission.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This can include articles, videos, infographics, and social media posts from partners, thought leaders, or industry organizations. By incorporating curated content into your strategy, you can fill content gaps, diversify your feed, and position your nonprofit as a valuable resource.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are actionable tips for effective content curation:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Verify credibility.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Only share content from reliable sources.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Add context. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include a caption that ties the content to your nonprofit\u2019s mission or programs.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Make it personal. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use storytelling to humanize content. For example, pair an external article about community challenges with a success story from your organization.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When posted alongside your nonprofit\u2019s original content, curated material can help your nonprofit maintain an impactful social media presence.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Post_breaking_news_and_current_affairs_related_to_your_mission\"><\/span>5. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post breaking news and current affairs related to your mission<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always be ready to respond to breaking news or current affairs related to your cause. Timely content related to viral news stories will generate high interaction rates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if your nonprofit focuses on disaster relief, you could post about the California <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fundrazr.com\/blog\/posts\/fundraising-tips-for-emergency-wildfire-relief\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">wildfires<\/mark><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, sharing updates on how your organization is responding and providing ways for supporters to help, such as donating.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A timely post like, &#8220;The Palisades Fire has burned over 23,000 acres and has devastated the L.A. community. We&#8217;re on the ground providing emergency aid. Here&#8217;s how you can make a difference today: [link to donation page]&#8221; is likely to see high engagement as it ties directly to current events.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Remember_that_people_access_social_media_on_mobile_devices\"><\/span>6. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that people access social media on mobile devices<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When distributing social media content, assume that most content is being viewed on a smartphone or tablet; therefore, study and understand how your content is displayed on mobile devices.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore what content displays well on both computers and mobile devices; this will positively impact your social media presence. Use large, easy-to-read text and keep graphic layouts clean. Tools like Canva or Adobe Express, which offer platform-specific templates, take the guesswork out of sizing graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider shooting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fundrazr.com\/blog\/posts\/4-tips-on-viral-videos-for-non-profits\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">videos<\/mark><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> vertically. While people can rotate their mobile devices to view horizontal videos, a vertical format removes one step from engaging with your content. This is particularly important when posting to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or Facebook Reels, which encourage continuous scrolling.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Post_to_your_nonprofits_social_media_accounts_consistently\"><\/span>7. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post to your nonprofit\u2019s social media accounts consistently<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonprofits that are active on social media will likely have higher follower numbers, engagement rates, shares, likes, and, most importantly, awareness! So remember that quality, consistency, and frequency are key when distributing social media content.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Develop a schedule for posting:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Mission Updates:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Share progress on initiatives, project milestones, or new programs to keep followers informed.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Community Impact Stories: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post real stories from those who have benefited from your nonprofit\u2019s work.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Event and Campaign Announcements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Promote upcoming events, fundraisers, or awareness initiatives.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">Supporter Spotlights:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/ecardwidget.com\/volunteer-appreciation-the-ultimate-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Celebrate your volunteers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and donors by highlighting their stories, contributions, and impact.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"665\" height=\"809\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"A mockup of an Instagram volunteer appreciation post.\" class=\"wp-image-26693 lazyload\" style=\"width:348px;height:auto\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/fundrazr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/eCardwidget-FundRazr-Social-Media-For-Nonprofits-7-Tips-To-Grow-Your-Following-Appreciation.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/fundrazr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/eCardwidget-FundRazr-Social-Media-For-Nonprofits-7-Tips-To-Grow-Your-Following-Appreciation.png 665w, https:\/\/fundrazr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/eCardwidget-FundRazr-Social-Media-For-Nonprofits-7-Tips-To-Grow-Your-Following-Appreciation-247x300.png 247w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these types of posts contributes to a well-rounded content strategy, bringing authenticity <em>and<\/em> trustworthiness to your social media presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Engage_with_your_nonprofits_social_media_followers\"><\/span>8.
