Everyone is saying that…

• Social media creates a tremendous opportunity for non-profits:

1. Online donations represent 13% ($39B) of all donations today ($300B) and are growing by over 35% per year

2. Social media platforms create a new communication channel to reach donors

3. Many of the tools are free

4. Social media has tremendous viral benefits

Sounds great, right?

However, leveraging the possibilities of Social Media is much easier said than done.

What we are hearing: • “I don’t know where to start” • “It’s too confusing” • “We don’t have enough resources” • “There’s not enough time” • “There isn’t any budget” • “We’re behind”

To better understand how you are doing relative to other non-profits, there is an incredibly valuable study called the 4th Annual Non-Profit Social Network Report

Key Learning #1 – The bottom line is that, today, there aren’t a lot of organizations driving a lot of donations through Social Media.

Key Learning #2 - Creating awareness and building your base of supporters are the biggest uses of Facebook by non-profits today --- not fundraising.

Key Learning #3 – However, there is value in creating awareness and getting additional supporters.

What we did: Action #7 – We Asked! We engaged current donors/supports at the time of “conversion” and motivated them to share via social media…

Results: • 48% share rate • 7.38 referrals per share • 13.64% lift in revenue


What we learned: Case Study #2 – The Ripple Effect

B. Use current supporters to drive new supporters 7. Ask! 8. Use goal setting to maximize results



Donor Goal Setting – Step 1 – Our new Goal Setting Feature Is Available With Facebook.


Donor Goal Setting – Step 2 – The Donor Selects a Goal Amount.


Donor Goal Setting – Step 3 – The Goal Setter Provides Permission For Us To Update Their Facebook Wall As People Contribute Towards Their Goal.

Good Influence is exploring how to help non-profits drive greater donations. To do that, we would like to post to your wall each time someone makes a donation towards your goal. We believe this will motivate others to join in.


Donor Goal Setting – Step 4 – The Goal Setter’s Post Now Includes The Goal.
