Social Media Success:
How to Promote Your School Fundraiser
Social media is the fastest way to spread the word about your school’s fundraiser. With just a single Facebook or Instagram post, you can reach dozens—or even hundreds—of supporters! Creating content takes only a few minutes, but the impact can be huge. Use these quick, easy strategies to boost participation, maximize fundraising profits, and hit your goals faster.
6 Quick Tips to Get Your Fundraiser Noticed
Set up a school or PTA event on Facebook to promote your fundraiser—ideally before your kick-off! Schedule the start date to match the fundraiser launch and post regular updates to keep excitement high. Encourage parents to like, share, and comment, and add a fun countdown: “Only 3 days until kick-off!”
Keep your fundraiser top-of-mind by posting daily or every other day. Highlight key moments like your kick-off, mid-sale updates, and final deadline. Consistency keeps supporters engaged and boosts your success!
Give a BIG Shout-Out to Parents
Celebrate parents who register online or help share with friends and family. Use your student spot reports to recognize them publicly: “A big shout-out to these parents for supporting our Charleston Wrap fundraiser!” Don’t forget to tag them for extra visibility.
Videos grab attention! Invite your Principal, PTA President, or a few students (with parental permission) to record a 1–2 minute video for Facebook and Instagram. Share your fundraising goal, explain how funds will be used, and ask everyone to like and share.
Host a Student Video Contest: Encourage kids to get creative with their videos alongside their parents—this can boost excitement and sales. Contest rules: include your school name, fundraising goal, how funds will be used, direct viewers to www.registercw.com, and feature your school’s online ID. The video with the most likes and shares wins!
Choose a fun prize (examples: reserved parent parking, or 10 dress-down days) and set a clear submission deadline. Announce the winner to keep the excitement going.
Highlight the excitement of your fundraiser with fun, engaging photos! Everyone loves seeing kids and volunteers in action.
