Facebook Tips

Looking to get the word out with Facebook? This guide will help you get started and on the road to creating a successful strategy. If you’re new to Facebook, start by creating a Facebook Page for your organization.

Below is a list of ways you can begin engaging your community for 925 GIVES!

Get started by liking the Three Valleys Community Foundation page. This will allow you to get updates, important information, and tips for 925 GIVES. Also link to other participating organizations from your organization’s page.

Promote your Facebook page. Include a link to your Facebook page on your website’s homepage, newsletters, emails...basically everywhere and anywhere. Ask your staff members, board members, volunteers, and donors to like the page and help you promote it.

In your personal account, tag the page and ask your Facebook friends to check it out. Ask employees and board members to do the same.

Talk it up! Post interesting information about your organization and share success stories and photos. Ask your followers questions to engage them in dialogue. Remember to keep posts brief! You don’t want to lose your audience by presenting lengthy updates.

Tell everyone that your organization is participating in 925 GIVES. Be sure to tell people what it is all about by using some of the suggested messaging above. Let them know how they can donate and ask them to spread the word.

Create a Facebook event. Invite your constituents to be part of 925 GIVES so that they can be reminded as the day gets closer AND see who else is participating. Also, tell people to invite others. It doesn’t matter whether or not you are hosting an event onsite; the whole day is worth celebration!

Do not give individual donor shoutouts without the donor’s consent.

Provide a quick thank you message on social media immediately after the Giving Day is over, and follow up with a longer heart-felt message a day or two after.

Do all of the above and repeat...again and again and again.


Twitter (X) Tips

Want to quickly engage donors and share information about your fundraising efforts? Twitter (X) is instant and efficient! 

Below you will find a few tips to help you have success.

Follow other organizations and people. The organizations you follow should be those that you work with or who inspire you and your constituents. You may also consider following past donors, board members, volunteers, and other community leaders.

Tell your followers that you are participating in 925 GIVES. Tell your followers about your campaign and begin to build a story around the initiatives you’d like to support. Let them know about any incentive prizes you are trying to win and how they can help you do so. Use some of the suggested tweets provided.

Use Hashtags and Handles. Whenever you share information include #925GIVES to further spread your organization’s words. Show that you are a part of 925 GIVES by using the hashtag in all of your tweets. People who are interested in a particular event, person, or business will follow the hashtag to stay up-to-date on any conversations around their topic of interest.

Don’t just follow! Become a part of the conversation. Let people know that you are out there and engaged. Respond to tweets like you are holding a conversation. You never know where this may lead.

Share pictures, videos and interesting content. Twitter is not just about your ‘words’. Pictures and videos draw people in, and sharing interesting articles about what you and others are doing shows that you are part of a community.

Tweet, retweet, and tweet again! (Especially on the day of 925 GIVES)


Instagram Tips

Looking to harness the power of visual communication? Take advantage of the ability to communicate with your potential supporters with impactful images and catchy captions. Never used Instagram? Check out Instagram’s “Getting Started on Instagram” guide to setup your account now!

Here’s your Instagram checklist:

Follow threevalleyscommunity on Instagram. Stay tuned on the activity around 925 GIVES.

Connect your Instagram and Facebook accounts. Make sure that your Instagram posts are automatically posted on Facebook. Connecting Facebook and Instagram harnesses the power of both social media platforms at once and allows you to reach a wider audience.

Find powerful images. People-centric, positive images will help you draw in new followers. Focus on sharing images that speak to your organization’s mission and your target audience. Canva.com is a great way to take your own photographs or a stock image to the next level. If you want to include important dates, statistics, or quotes, Canva lets you add text right on top of the image as well as providing you with a suite of photo editing tools.

Socialize! Like your supporters’ posts, and consider re-sharing posts that stand out and speak to your cause. Showcasing the stories and individuals that propel your organization’s mission will help you gain more followers, recognition, and traction in advance of the day. Also take this opportunity to cross-promote by liking and re-sharing other organizations’ posts to boost your visibility in our community.

Use the #925GIVES hashtags, in addition to other creative hashtags. 3-5 hashtags per post is the sweet spot. Start with a branded or specific hashtag--like a tagline or fun phrase. Follow this with the name of your organization, then a broader hashtag tied to your cause (#savinglives, #endinghomelessness, #spreadingthelove). Having a succession of hashtags helps with branding!

Create a regular schedule for posting. We recommend posting at least 2-3 times per week to stay in your supporters feeds! If you integrate your Instagram posts with Facebook, you’ll want to consider how your Instagram posts will fit in with your other scheduled Facebook posts. Consider making posts that show a chronological history - such as building a playground or rehabbing an animal back to health.

Host an activity. Photo contests are a great way to include your supporters and make your posts more interactive! “Tag a friend” posts, ask your supporters to tag a friend in a post that you’d like to gain more traction in. Offer an incentive to encourage more participation! “Take-Over” Ask a staff member or supporter to take over your Instagram for a week. This allows you to showcase the individuals that make up your unique community, how they embody your mission, and what your organization means to them. “Take-Overs” can help show the impact your organization has on the community!

Have fun! Instagram is a really playful platform, and the perfect opportunity to let the unique personalities, humor and convictions of your organization shine through your photos, captions and hashtags! Instagram is a fantastic opportunity to relate to your supporters, showing them who you are and what you stand for.


LinkedIn Tips

LinkedIn is one of the most powerful — and underutilized — platforms for nonprofit fundraising. With a professional audience that skews toward decision-makers, donors, and community leaders, LinkedIn is ideal for building credibility and reaching supporters who can give and influence others to give too.

Below you will find a few tips to help you have success.

Follow Three Valleys Community Foundation on LinkedIn. Go to your LinkedIn search bar, find the Three Valleys Community Foundation page, and click Follow. Share the page with your staff, board, and volunteers and ask them to follow and engage with posts leading up to September 25, 2026.

Post from your personal profile, not just your organization's page. LinkedIn's algorithm heavily favors personal profiles over company pages. Your Executive Director, board members, and staff sharing content from their own accounts will reach far more people than posts from the organization alone. Encourage your team to post their own "why I give" stories in the weeks leading up to 925 GIVES.

Lead with impact, not just the ask. LinkedIn audiences respond well to data, outcomes, and professional storytelling. Share a compelling statistic about your mission, a brief case study, or a milestone your organization has reached. Then connect it to 925 GIVES and how readers can help you go further.

Use #hashtags and @handles. Include #925GIVES in every post, along with relevant cause-based hashtags like #nonprofit, #philanthropy, #givingback, or hashtags specific to your mission area. Tag @Three Valleys Community Foundation when sharing content so your posts are visible to the broader 925 GIVES community.

Engage your professional network directly. LinkedIn makes it easy to reach corporate donors, foundations, and community partners. Consider reaching out to connections at local businesses or partner organizations with a personal message asking them to share your campaign or make a gift on September 25, 2026. A direct, personalized message goes a long way on LinkedIn.

Share milestone updates on the day of 925 GIVES. Post progress updates throughout September 25, 2026 — "We've reached 50% of our goal!" posts with a clear call to action create momentum and urgency. LinkedIn users who missed your earlier posts may see a mid-day update and be inspired to give before the day ends.

Thank your donors and champions publicly. After 925 GIVES, post a heartfelt thank-you that highlights the total raised, the impact it will have, and a shoutout to any corporate sponsors or major supporters (with their permission). Recognition posts perform well on LinkedIn and help steward relationships for future campaigns.

Post consistently in the weeks leading up to 925 GIVES. Aim for 2–3 posts per week starting at least three weeks before the event. Build a narrative arc: start with mission impact, move to campaign goals, then finish with urgency and the call to give on September 25, 2026.
