The social media landscape is constantly evolving and your team should be too!
Charities are facing more challenges than ever before. Falling statutory funding, expensive traditional forms of fundraising, global data protection, trust issues from the general public to name a few. On top of all of these challenging headwinds is the increasing demands on their services.
Currently, only 45% of charities are using social media. This is surprisingly low when 61% of audiences would prefer to donate online.
The smallest charities often have some of the best stories to tell, and the most potential to engage donors thanks to their authentic frontline work. Given this, it is a great tragedy that they so often lack the necessary tools, skills and support to do so.
Stories about cancer survivors, women in need receiving aid boxes full of essentials, an adult with disabilities learning to ride a bike and more should and can be shared on social media. These highlight what you and your organisation do, why you do it, how it can and is already helping and then how your audience can get involved.
In the UK there are over 39 million people who are actively using social media. With such a large audience, there is great potential to reach an entirely new audience, either an audience to get involved with donations, volunteering or those you are helping within your organisation.
Charities with high digital capabilities are twice as likely to save time, twice as likely to increase donations and 10 times more likely to save costs.
