How Nonprofits Can Post Less and Reach More on Social Media

By Reuben Harney


Social media can be exhaustingly difficult for nonprofit teams to manage. It seems impossible to keep up with, unless your organization is big enough to allocate a few team members purely to posting content. Not to mention the constant advice that's thrown around, like: 


  • You need to post 3x per day and repurpose your posts to optimize every platform!

Nonprofit engagement strategies for active supporters

Nonprofit leaders are concerned about engagement and while their email lists may be growing, new programs are launching and supporter databases are expanding, there is still a problem.

While beneficial program outcomes have always been the ultimate goal of federal financial assistance, there appears to be a more deliberate effort to rebalance grants management and oversight so that compliance remains important but is not the only measure of success.
