I am the least cool; not hip social media geek you will meet. Social Media philosophy- building relationships, people still do business with those they know or who are recommended by someone they trust, changed how we communicate, amplify voices, connecting communities; while I am somewhat of a social media geek-- my passion is not in the newest outlet (I don't care if I am an early adopter-- or the slickest campaigns-- it is truly in the power to build relationships-- to give amplify voices-- I am a nonprofit/public policy at heart-- social media quickly became my tool Listen first

Twitter is good for short bursts of info– to give and receive newsAccording to the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, 39% of Twitter users said most of the news they got on Twitter was material they wouldn't have read elsewhere. Live Tweet from events (interesting ones) Sharing updates like these allow people to feel connected with an actual event ... even if that event's happening halfway around the world. And you know what? Those followers tuning in to the live feed are most likely the same crowd that's willing to donate to your cause.Tweeting to and about the press!Let your donors know how many mouths their money was able to feed, and it will put into perspective what they were able to accomplish with a quick gesture of kindess. And acknowledging their support, especially on social media where all their friends can see it, makes them feel special!
Facebook is the place to tell stories. A great way to engage those who like your Facebook page is by providing them with a place to share their own stories, and comment on yours. On the Make A Wish Foundation Facebook page, for example, there are several pictures, names, and stories of children who have been touched by the foundation's efforts. People are moved by what they read, and express their love by commenting, liking, and sharing various posts. It's this bond with your organization that's critical to establish to drive donations -- and it's why storytelling plays a key role ... because establishing an emotional connection takes time, and context.As a nonprofit, you can also pick the most moving post on your Facebook page and have it featured as "Inspiration of the Week." You can even use Timeline's new pinning feature to expand the visual real estate of the post on your page and draw even more of your fans' eyes there. The Make A Wish Foundation facebook post below is an excellent example of a charity using story-telling to generate donations through hope. And since Facebook pages allow organizations to create donate buttons, there's no reason not to try experimenting with it!
A Pinterest study from Shareaholic reported that 21% of users have followed through with a purchase after discovering it on Pinterest -- that might be a social media investment worth investigating for nonprofits trying to drive donations, eh? You can get started by creating pin boards (we have 28 creative pinboard ideas for you here if you're looking for ideas) with images that relate to your cause. For example, Habitat for Humanity pins pictures of volunteers building homes across the globe, as well as fliers for upcoming volunteer opportunities and country-wide movements like National Mandela Week. Or you could mimic their approach of inspiring people -- you know how important it is to feel moved to donate -- through boards like their creative "Quotes."
