Before we delve into the good stuff, let’s get on the same page about what we mean when we talk about Facebook Challenges.
Facebook Challenges are innovative fundraising campaigns that harness the power of social media to engage your supporters, raise funds, and spread the word about your cause. These Challenges are designed to be simple and effective and can be delivered fully in-house if you don’t have the budget for agency fees.
A Facebook Challenge simplifies online fundraising by leveraging various Facebook features. It's a virtual event where participants sign up, engage in an online community, and fundraise - all within the Facebook platform for a seamless experience. Here's what this looks like in action:
Though there's more complexity involved (and we’ll get to that in just a sec), this gives a glimpse into the effectiveness of Facebook Challenges in reaching new audiences and raising those vital funds for your nonprofit.
But the best part? Whilst it might seem a little complicated, our free Facebook Challenges Playbook for GivePanel customers equips you with all the tools, knowledge, and best practices you need to run these Challenges on your own.
Consider the Facebook Challenge Playbook as your ultimate guidebook to conquering the realm of virtual fundraising Challenges. This playbook is your virtual mentor; offering step-by-step guidance on how to plan, execute, optimize, and measure the success of your Facebook Challenges. The goal is to empower you to take control of your fundraising initiatives without breaking the bank.
The playbook consists of 6 chapters:
Whether you’re new to Facebook Challenges and just starting out, or running a program of events like a seasoned pro, our playbook should feature as part of your Facebook Challenge prep and campaign management every time.
This is because our playbook is not a static resource - it's a dynamic hub of knowledge that evolves with the ever-changing digital landscape. With every new Facebook Challenge you embark on, make sure you refer to the playbook to ensure you're armed with the latest strategies and insights. From understanding regional variations to utilizing ROI calculators, our playbook covers it all.
But don’t just take it from us! Irish Heart Foundation saw a difference in their Facebook Challenge performance when they began using the playbook in 2022 for a dog walking Challenge. And here’s what one of our Australian charity customers had to say when they used the playbook for setting up their Facebook ads:
“It was very helpful, because I liked the way that it separated the message so we could test [aspects of] cause and focus, which we then brought into our ads for community fundraising. So [we had] good learnings from previous campaigns.”
Absolutely! At GivePanel, we believe in democratizing fundraising success and we want to help nonprofits achieve their fundraising goals. This is why access to GivePanel's Facebook Challenges Playbook is open to all of our customers at no additional cost.
Even better, we don’t limit your seats either because we know that many of our charity customers resource their Facebook Challenge from various teams in their organization. So, in short, you can have as many colleagues as you want to access the playbook for free and benefit from the expert advice! What’s not to love?
Accessing the playbook couldn’t be simpler. All you need is to be an existing GivePanel customer and to complete this short form with your name, email address, and nonprofit organization. Our Support team will then grant you access and you’ll be ready to go!
