Nonprofits need to have a strong social media presence. There are so many times that I learn about a new nonprofit because someone shared a picture of them volunteering with the organization on Instagram and tagged them. I followed the tag and ended up on their website.
The nonprofit world relies heavily on word-of-mouth, and social media is one of the best ways to send a message through the grapevine. If a nonprofit hasn’t allocated a significant portion of their marketing budget to social media, they should likely re-evaluate their expenses.
