Frequently Asked Questions

We feel like we're always asking for donations on social. How do we avoid donor fatigue?+
The ratio is the problem. Most nonprofits post 70% ask content and 30% everything else. We flip this: 70% impact and community stories, 20% education and awareness, and 10% direct asks. When you ask less frequently from a warm, engaged audience, the conversion rate is dramatically higher and the relationship is preserved.
How do we recruit volunteers via social media?+
Volunteer recruitment content needs to answer three questions: what does it actually involve, what impact will I have, and how little time does it take? We build content formats for each—day-in-the-life Reels, 'two hours a week' posts, and outcome testimonials from existing volunteers. We've seen this approach triple volunteer applications for organisations our size.
Should we focus on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn for our charity?+
Facebook is best for older donor demographics and local community engagement. Instagram is ideal for visual impact storytelling and under-45 audiences. LinkedIn works for corporate partnership outreach and professional volunteer recruitment. Most nonprofits need all three with different content strategies per platform.
How do we measure the ROI of social media for a nonprofit?+
We track three things: donation attribution (UTM-tagged social links to donation pages), volunteer inquiry volume from social sources, and follower engagement quality (comments, shares, saves rather than likes). Combined, these tell you whether your social investment is generating real organisational impact.
