Decide on Relevant Platforms:
When you are planning to launch your campaign to raise money, you must determine which platform will best suit your intended audience. It’s not a good idea to create an approach based on Instagram for example if your most active audience is not on Instagram. Utilize analytics tools on every platform to decide on where to concentrate your efforts and then research the types of audiences for each. Facebook could have billion people, however, you’ll be competing with a lot of other brands and charities and it’s a good idea to look beyond the most popular platforms to identify the individuals who truly support your cause.
Engage donors:
One of the toughest aspects of fundraising is to create an authentic connection with potential donors, which in turn motivates them to support your cause. On the internet or in the streets, charities must deal with a variety of calls for attention from potential donors to make their cause heard. To ensure that they are heard the fundraising campaign must be able to resonate with the people they are targeting.

Celebrate Milestones and Thank Your Donors:
It’s important to recognize your accomplishments as you go! When you’re creating your campaign’s plan, establish certain fundraising goals and then post to your Facebook and Twitter platforms whenever you achieve one. It is also important to connect with your donors on social media and express gratitude to them for their support and donations. It can be as easy as tweeting them retweeting or posting a comment on their Facebook page.
Set up a huge peer-to-peer fundraising system:
Volunteers, supporters, donors Volunteers, supporters, donors, and even Board members could do a bit of the work by sharing your content and also expressing their enthusiasm. The followers of their friends may be able to share their posts with their friends and followers, and the list goes on until your following is growing significantly, and fills up with people who you may not have encountered otherwise. There’s plenty of room for an organic approach to marketing and harnessing the influence of relationships when making use of social media to raise funds!
