If you have a fundraiser on the horizon, here are some things you should do with your social media efforts.

Promote Giveaways
People love getting things for free. If you are trying to generate buzz for your fundraiser, create some sort of free giveaway. It will attract more people to your fundraiser, which should help you raise more money.
Get Shares
If you want to generate awareness for your fundraiser, you want your social media posts to be shared online as many times as possible. One great way to do this is to ask your attendees to share your posts. If they are excited about your fundraiser, they will probably be more than willing to do so. It only takes a person a second to click that “share” button and they would be doing you a huge favor.
