How Non-Profits Use Social Media To Increase Donor Engagement
With social media at our fingertips, the opportunity to build lasting relationships with donors has never been more accessible. Whether you’re a small local charity or a globally recognized institution, donor engagement can make or break your mission. Non-profits can leverage social media to not only increase donor engagement but also foster a community that champions their cause.
The Game-Changing Impact of Social Media on Donor Engagement
Social media has revolutionized the way non-profits interact with their supporters. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are accessible avenues for storytelling and communication. These platforms allow non-profits to share success stories, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and urgent appeals, all in real-time. The immediacy of social media means that organizations can reach out to their audience at any time, providing updates that keep donors involved and invested.
Engaging content is key to capturing the attention and hearts of potential and existing donors. By consistently sharing meaningful and relevant posts, non-profits can nurture a sense of belonging and commitment among their supporters. Whether it’s a heartfelt video message from a beneficiary or a live Q&A session with the founders, social media offers endless possibilities for connection.
Platform-Specific Strategies to Enhance Donor Engagement
Each social media platform offers unique features that can be harnessed to engage donors effectively. On Facebook, non-profits can create dedicated groups for their supporters, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Instagram’s visual nature is perfect for showcasing impactful images and stories, while Twitter’s fast-paced environment allows for timely updates and calls to action.
LinkedIn, often overlooked, holds immense potential for non-profits looking to connect with professionals interested in philanthropy. Regular updates about organizational milestones and successes can inspire corporate partnerships and sponsorships. TikTok, though newer, offers a creative outlet for storytelling that can captivate a younger audience, further expanding your reach.
The Crucial Role of Social Media Management Services
While the potential is immense, managing social media can be overwhelming, especially for non-profits operating with limited resources. This is where a dedicated social media management service can make a significant impact.

Have any questions?
We have answers.
Can you help me grow Instagram followers?
We partner with Socialboost to help build Instagram followers. Click the link below to enroll. Plans start at $59/mo.
What photos or videos do you use?
By default, we can use the photos you have on your website as well as utilizing the plethora of photos available to us within our royalty free library.
If you have photos or videos for us to use, depending on your subscription, we welcome you to upload them into a Google Drive folder and share that link with us!
Looking for custom videos? Some of our plans include videos or you can add them to any plan starting at $98/mo!
How do you mimic my branding colors and style?
As mentioned above, depending on your plan, we can use whatever you’d like to provide us! If not, we’ll resort to using your website or our royalty free library.
That being said, we can come up with custom graphics that suit your branding style as an add-on to your posting subscription.
$98/month for 3 custom graphics each week
$148/month for 5 custom graphics each week
Note: The cost of custom graphics is on top of your monthly subscription cost
What is content review & approval?
Content review and approval is where your social media content creator sends you a weeks worth of posts, prior to their designated publication time the following week.
This way, you will have the chance to give us feedback on each post in case you’d like us to make a minor edit.
Note: One round of editing per post permitted, depending on your plan.
What are the results I can expect from your posting services?
The idea behind consistent posting onto your social media pages is to keep them active with content that promotes your business solutions, educates your audience to showcase your expertise and to also keep things lighthearted, it’s social media after all!
There’s nothing worse for a business than to earn someone looking into what you do, only for them to see a barren social media page. To them, it may appear that you are out of business or potentially a scam.
We are often asked about growing followers and generating sales or leads. These are great goals to have but please understand that those goals are better obtained through paid advertising campaigns.
For more information on paid advertising, please visit our paid advertising services.
Do you use a posting scheduler and how do you get access to my business pages?
We are fortunate to be partnered with CloudCampaign.com to utilize their excellent scheduling platform.
By signing up for our content services, we will set you up with your own Cloud Campaign workspace depending on your plan.
During onboarding we request admin access to your social accounts using a secure platform. This allows us to manage the occasional disconnect when the platforms push out updates.
Furthermore, with your own workspace you are welcome to view and edit content at your leisure!
Why do my posts say “Posted by Cloud Campaign”
We use Cloud Campaign, which is a 3rd party app, to scale social media management and posting. When a post says “Posted by Cloud Campaign”, it is only the admins of your company page that can see this and not your followers.
