Send this out to all your fundraisers to get them posting their page to social media outlets.

 

 

Hello, SUPPORTER:

Facebook, Twitter, Blogging—they may all sound foreign to you. But it’s actually extremely easy and beneficial to link your FirstGiving fundraising page to these social media outlets.

Having your page linked on these outlets is an open invitation to all potential donors, such as friends of friends or people you may have been too timid to ask for donations.

Here is how you can leverage social media:

  • Facebook is a great way to catch up with old friends, let them know what you are up to, and that you are supporting YOUR NONPROFIT.It’s easy to post your FirstGiving page in your status or join a FirstGiving group on Facebook.  Learn more about sharing your page on Facebook and about joining FirstGiving's Facebook groups.
  • Twitter is a quick, fun way to keep people updated on your fundraising goal and status and your training. Learn how to tweet your fundraising page to your followers. Learn more.
  • Blogging is a very easy way to update your friends and family on your training and fundraising goals.  It also keeps your donors aware of where their donation is going. Learn more.
  • Email signatures are a very easy way to spread knowledge of your fundraising page. Just add a link to your personal fundraising page at the bottom of your signature file and send it out with every email you send. Learn more.

If you need any help getting started, please contact the FirstGiving support team at 877-365-2949  or support@firstgiving.com
