How To Share Nonprofit Social Media Content in a Blog Post

I was inspired by the article on sfist.com titled Bay Area Shelters Worth a Follow on Social Media.

This article has screenshots of 13 animal shelters in the San Francisco area that are using Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.  This brings awareness of how local shelters are using social media and readers can view these pages to learn more about the organizations.


It even started some conversation in the comments section. People mentioned other animal shelters in the area that have a social media presence. One person mentioned that they volunteered at one of the shelters. Another person was heartbroken about seeing all the dogs that needed to be rescued.

This is a great way to bring awareness of nonprofit organizations that are using social media.





Here are some ideas on what to share in an article similar to this:

• Local news websites/blogs can share content like this one for a specific cause

• Organizations that have members or chapters can share their social media content

• Nonprofit bloggers can explore an awareness day or some other theme and show what organizations are posting on social media
