Let’s be real—if you’re only posting graphics asking for donations a week before Giving Tuesday, you’re missing out on so much potential! 🤯 Giving is driven first by an emotional connection. That’s why it’s crucial to post a variety of content throughout the year, not just a flurry of “asks” at the last minute. Connect people to you and your mission. So start sharing now—stories of impact, where donations have helped in the past, volunteer highlights, and educational posts about your cause. Let your audience walk with you throughout the year so they’re ready to take that step with you on Giving Tuesday! 🚶♂️💙 #GivingTuesday #NonprofitMarketing #marketing #nonprofit #marketingplan

52% of Americans trust nonprofits, which means 48% don't. Nonprofits saw the largest trust decline of any American Institution in 2023. 📉 Nonprofits operate on trust. When they’re not receiving a product or service - donors have no evidence that their funds are making a difference. You need to let them know that their donations are going where they believed they were. 👉 Research has shown that people trust local organizations far more than large institutions. Probably because they find it easier to connect with their messaging and grassroots approach. But how can you build trust in this way for your nonprofit? Nurture an organic community online (don't buy leads) Be approachable on socials (respond to messages) Thought leadership (feature the experts behind your mission!) Create content (add value in every post) Share stories (drop your audience right into your work) It’s the perfect way to build trust with your audience. Need some pointers? I’ve been helping nonprofit leaders build their online presence for several years now. My DMs are open. #Nonprofit #Marketing #Social

Your nonprofit shouldn’t just be focused on fundraising. Instead focus on your community. Greg Harrell-Edge, Director at CoachArt, knows that to truly thrive, nonprofits need to build deep, lasting connections with their supporters. Not just donors. Not just followers. But a community that’s invested in your mission. In his session at next week's Nonprofit Marketing Summit, Greg will show you why community-led marketing is the future. Here’s the key takeaway: When you create a sense of belonging, your supporters become more than just donors. They become advocates. They: → Give more → Volunteer more → Spread your mission further Greg will share how CoachArt has harnessed this power to build deeper connections and achieve greater impact. This isn’t just a strategy—it’s a revolution in how nonprofits engage with their supporters. Join Greg on August 20th to learn how to turn your supporters into a thriving, dedicated community that drives your mission forward. #NMS2024 #nonprofitmarketingsummit #CommunityRising

When it comes to fundraising, I often see two types of fundraisers. The “we’ve always done it this way” type, who do the same events and campaigns every year out of habit. Even though what once worked isn’t working so well anymore. And the frantic, last-minute fundraisers who see another organization doing a certain type of campaign and then flounder to put one together without much thought or strategy. Neither of these is going to move your nonprofit forward towards your fundraising goals. When the plan fails, it’s time to make a new plan… If you want to achieve your fundraising goals in 2025 and start the year knowing exactly what to focus on and when, chat with us about our Custom Fundraising Plans.
