Causes Exchange

If you are a nonprofit employee, go to your Nonprofit Partner Center at http://nonprofits.causes.com. This Partner Center is packed with communications, fundraising, and organizing tools specifically for our nonprofit partners.  Becoming a partner is free and the tools in your Partner Center will help your nonprofit recruit more members, raise more money, save time, and better understand what works and what doesn’t on Facebook.  Once you log-in, be sure to affiliate with the causes that benefit your nonprofit.  Affiliating allows you to be a co-administrator of that cause, send messages to them, and feature your nonprofit’s campaigns to that community.

Perhaps the most exciting tool in your Nonprofit Partner Center is the ability to send bulletins to your affiliated causes.  For the Giving Challenge, this can be an extremely effective tool to coordinate action across the causes that benefit you and motivate their members to donate during the Giving Challenge.  Plus, you can now send messages (and thank you notes!) to your donors.   To do this, select the “Bulletins” tab, then “Send a Bulletin” and “To: Supporters of a Campaign.”  When you select the “America’s Giving Challenge” campaign, you will have the option to send a bulletin to all supporters of that campaign or just those who have donated to that campaign.  You can further target your message by only messaging supporters who donated during a certain time period. For more information about all the tools available in your Nonprofit Partner Center, read the Insider’s Guide here.
