Hi Reader! There is no doubt that social media, no matter the platform, remains a powerful way for people to build communities and connect with the causes and nonprofits they care about. 29% of online donors say that social media is the communication tool that most inspires them to give [email 27%, website, 18%, print, 12%, TV ad 6%] (According to the Global Trends in Giving Report). One question that I see nonprofits constantly asking, and with good reason: “Can social media really bring in new donors for our nonprofit?” Good news! The answer is a resounding yes. Even better? In order to be successful, you don’t need a large team, a huge budget, and oodles of time and tech-savvy. Need some inspiration and specific examples of how to grow your donor base using social media? 🌟🌟 If you want to go more in depth on ways to use social media to raise more money on GivingTuesday and year-end, join me for a free webinar on November 6.
