5 tips for fundraising on social media

If you're taking on fundraising event, find out what the official hashtag is and include it in your posts. It's a great way to connect with other people doing the same challenge and bring in new supporters.

Top tip: Doing your own thing? Maybe come up with your own. #JillsEpicRun? #Rajs200kmchallenge? #AmysGameathon.

It's important to make it easy for people to find out how they can support your fundraising. Make it simple by adding your online fundraising link to social media channels like Twitter and Instagram. 

Top tip:  Use Linktree - this allows you to share several website links, so you won't lose the current link in your bio.

Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok have a stories feature which is useful for a quick update. On Instagram Stories you can now add a link - it's a more direct way of getting your followers to see your fundraising page.

Make sure you're interacting with the comments and shares you get on a regular basis. This only encourages more people to comment in future. It can also help with the algorithm in terms of how many more people see your post outside of your followers and regular interactions.
