  Social media allows nonprofit organizations to actively engage with a following, spread their mission, and raise awareness about the organization. Additionally, adding social networking capabilities to your nonprofit’s site can help to build the internet identity of the organization and entice web surfers to support such causes. In this video, we discuss some of the best methods to link social media to nonprofit websites and vice versa.

  1. Add Social Media Buttons

  An effective strategy for linking social media to web pages is to include a cross-media campaign by simply including social media buttons or icons on their pages. These buttons usually should be displayed on all the tabs of the website usually on the header or the footers. The users, whenever they click on such icons would be redirected to the social media pages of that non-profit. This way the audience would be able to easily follow that organization on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others.

  2. Integrate Real Time Social Media Feeds

  Another awesome way to incorporate the social media aspect would be to add live feeds from your social media accounts right into the website. For example, you may integrate the Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook feeds into your website homepage or into a social media dedicated subpage. This allows keeping the website more relevant and populated with valuable information, by displaying all the recent posts and news from the respective social media accounts. This shows the real time activities of the accounts without the visitors having to leave the webpage.

  3. Incorporate Social Network Sharing Buttons

  Allow visitors to easily disperse the content across social media platforms by making the addition of social sharing buttons on blog post, event pages, donation pages, forms or whatever other content that you wish to advertise. Such buttons enable them to share your content with their followers instantly. It also helps in making the audience aware of your cause. This is a good way to enhance your visibility and reach other potential supporters.

  4. Integrate Social Media Promotions Into Your Organization’s Web Platform

  When promoting an initiative for your organization through social media, be it a campaign or a fundraising effort, it is paramount that it be linked to the organization’s website. You can include banners or call-to-action buttons on your home page or particular campaign pages that take the users to donation pages, event sign up forms, or further information. This, in turn, will increase traffic directed towards your webpage and encourage users towards action.

  5. Provide Social Proof of Endorsement and Use of Service

  Letting your organization’s supporters comment on social media and share their experiences can work as a great marketing strategy for your interactive non-profit. Posting these testimonials and comments on your website would help win the confidence of prospective donors, volunteers, and partners. This social proof of endorsement means that the particular non-profit is in existence and liked by people in the neighborhood.

  6. Use Social Media Links to Market Events

  Should your organization conduct events, social media can be quite useful to market them. Open events on Facebook, share on Instagram, tweet, and use your social media to raise awareness, and provide links to the event pages on your website. This will make it simpler for followers to sign up or donate conveniently and directly from your website.

  7. Promote Using Social Media Accounts

  You may want to consider letting people sign in on your nonprofit organizational site through social media accounts. This can be especially useful when filling donation or signing forms for volunteering. The use of social networks to sign in may streamline the process resulting to increased number of users who complete their intended actions.

  Conclusions

  Merging social networks with the sites owned by non profits is a good strategy that will ensure there will be an upsurge in engagement, more people will be informed of the cause as well as a community formed out of this particular effort. Social networks can be integrated onto the non profit websites through social media buttons, updates remained posted, sharing was encouraged, and links to campaigns were given. These little but effective strategies are sure to boost the visibility of your nonprofit.
