[email protected] When engaging your donors, you'll want to post a few times per week. One can be a fun post, and the other can be a more direct need post.

When you can, try to incorporate a question in the post. Maybe for a fun post, it's something like this meme with a question of

"Can anyone else relate?

Adding a question will encourage a donor to engage with your post with either a comment or like, which the social media platforms love. They actually use that engagement as a tool on how much they show your page to viewers in the future.

A fun post can be something along the lines of A funny meme/image/video/joke Did you know Get to know ____ (Showcase a volunteer or staff member & some fun things about them) Any of the item listed in this calendar

Direct posts should include things like Why you need their help Photos/stories showing specifically how their support/donations help Call to action (How they can give/volunteer?

Be specific on what you need & make it easy for them to give/volunteer right there on the spot.)

Don't forget to thank your donors! Always. Make sure that they know that you value them and appreciate their support. 1 New Year's Day y
