This is a collaborative session focused on the who, what and why of social media marketing for nonprofits. We will talk about who you are targeting, what you are sharing, and why it’s relevant to the audience (and channel).

Launched on May 5, 2003, LinkedIn is a social network for professionals. 51% of its users are college-educated and the average salary for a LinkedIn user is $46,644 USD per year. It’s an ideal community to connect with co-workers, influencers, donors, and corporate sponsors.

Fundraising is built on relationships, and maintaining those relationships requires effort. These donor appreciation email templates are designed to make that work a bit easier. By showing your donors that you genuinely value their support, you can deepen connections and foster lasting loyalty.

With 3 billion monthly active users, Facebook is the largest social network in the world. Without a doubt, your nonprofit’s donors and supporters use Facebook on a regular basis, and thus Facebook should be your first priority in your social media strategy.

Nonprofit organizations are starting to realize the potential of AI and how it can be leveraged to further their missions. If you’re in the nonprofit sector, here’s how you can start incorporating AI into your technology strategy in 2024.

Imagine a philanthropic force working outside your organization to amplify your fundraising. Giving circles, a collective donor group that acts as an external force, have witnessed a significant surge in popularity over this past decade.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a term you’ve probably heard countless times, with the advice that all your nonprofit’s blog and website content should be optimized to drive traffic. But when you’re stretched thin on resources and manpower, just getting blog posts published and your website updated feels like a major accomplishment—let alone diving into SEO or content strategy.

Your online donors and supporters are bombarded daily with breaking news, advertising, and spam. As a result, your nonprofit only has a very brief moment to capture their attention and inspire them to act on behalf of your nonprofit.

Not every organization is going to have success using the same strategies — which is why we don’t preach that we have the be-all, end-all of event marketing advice. Instead, we will provide you with tactics and guides to improve your current strategies and results, and show you how to determine what is working for your specific donors, your specific event, and your specific organization.
