Volunteering with friends, family or your online community is a great way to share a special experience and create memories. If you’re looking to connect with your audience and followers offline, consider organizing a group volunteer session for your favorite non-profit!

Many organizations need photographers and videographers to help capture the work they are doing in the community and at-large so they can share those moments with donors and supporters who have contributed to the cause. Capturing content at events or fundraisers can also help organizations secure future sponsorships and event goers because they will be able to give people and organizations a feel of what it’s like to be a sponsor or attend!

If you support a cause that is committed to helping others by providing them with goods and basic essentials, consider donating physical items. You can either drop off your donation in-person or if you’re donating from afar, order the item online and have it shipped to the organization directly.

While promoting a nonprofit or cause one time is helpful, getting behind something you care about and consistently promoting and advocating for them will exponentially increase the impact you are making to their organization. Your audience will get a deeper understanding of the nonprofit’s work and become invested after following along on the organization’s journey of helping the world!

Whether you make a personal donation, or donate a portion of sales from your products or services, this is a great way to give back to an organization you care about. If you would like to encourage your audience to do the same, share a link to make it easy for them to contribute too. Many nonprofits need general unrestricted funds to run the organization so monetary donations are always much appreciated!

Organizing a drive for goods and items is a great way to get people involved in a cause. Whether it’s collecting canned goods for a food bank, school supplies for disadvantaged children, or even diapers for homeless families – ask your friends, family and followers to join you in collecting goods to donate. You can collect items locally and donate them directly to the organization or even host a virtual drive via an Amazon Wishlist and have everything shipped directly to the nonprofit!

Organizations often have fundraising events, community events or volunteer events year round and need help promoting them to get people to attend. Reach out to a local nonprofit where the majority of your audience is based and ask them about upcoming events you can help promote on your social platforms, email list and network!

If you care about an organization or cause, the easiest way to help out is to promote them on social media. Go all out and tag their social media handles, use their designated hashtag, promote their links and try to drive traffic to their page to give them the social media boost and exposure they deserve!

Get involved in your local community and give back to organizations doing work in your town. There are so many small local organizations doing good in your own neighborhood who need the support and it’s also a great way to get offline and connect with people outside of social media. If you’re a digital nomad and don’t feel connected to a community at the moment, consider volunteering when you go home to visit friends and family for the holidays.

If you have brand contacts and have done past partnerships with companies then consider reaching out to them to get involved with your organization of choice! Whether it’s pitching an event sponsorship, contributing to the awareness campaign you designed or even donating goods to the nonprofit you support, why not leverage that relationship to help others?
