Social Media Tips, Templates, & Student Success Stories

Tell Your Story & Keep the Momentum Going!

Some of the most compelling fundraising stories are ones written by supporters like you. Tell your team and supporters why you are passionate CIS. What inspired you to get involved?
  • Teaser posts. Before you launch your page, spend some time getting people excited about your event. Show them pictures of people at past events having a blast. Explain why people should get involved. Get people hyped!
  • Recruitment posts. Once your page is live and ready to go, share it with your network and colleagues! At this point during the ride, some people might not be aware of the event and the basic reasons they may want to participate. You’ll want to make this type of post periodically, especially in the early days.
  • Progress posts. Celebrate important milestones with your participants and donors! When you reach certain percentages of your fundraising goal, when you hit interesting recruitment numbers, or when you hit significant dollar amounts, make a post to celebrate!
  • Donor spotlights. Show your donors some love and inspire people to get involved by highlighting people who have done a remarkable job raising money and awareness for your cause. You’ll want to have their permission before you post about them, of course.
  • Countdown posts. These are especially effective if you’re very close to your fundraising goal or nearing the day of the event. Creating a sense of urgency is a tried-and-true fundraising strategy, and it applies to peer-to-peer fundraising!
