Show Off Your Work
Host a live streaming event where you show off what’s going on in your organization. If you’re a dog rescue, use Facebook Live to show off the dogs at the rescue playing with each other and your volunteers. It’s easy to highlight what you do as an organization and make people smile in the process.
Livestream Your Meetings
If you want people to learn more about the inner workings of your organization, livestream some of your meetings. Livestream your Board meeting or a committee meeting. You can livestream a one-on-one conversation with a donor and talk about why donating to your organization is so important. Make sure you’re only livestreaming information that is open to the public.
Livestream Your Event
Because you’re using technology like Givergy to give those who could not be at your event an opportunity to bid on your items, you should also use livestreaming platforms to broadcast your fundraising event. By using a site like Periscope, you can give your event a hashtag and let people both in your venue and outside your venue follow along.
Live Q&A
A great way to engage current and future donors is to host a live Q&A on Instagram Live. Anyone who watches your Instagram Live video will be able to respond to the Q&A in real time, asking additional questions and commenting on the dialogue.
