How do I edit the Social Media Settings for a Crowdfunding and Peer to Peer Activity?

The Social Media Settings for a Crowdfunding and Peer to Peer Fundraising activity allow you to customize a default post message when a constituent clicks on one of the four available social network buttons. You will be able to personalize the share message for Facebook and Twitter posts, text messages, and emails.


Where are the Social Share Buttons Located?

The Social Media Share buttons are located in the banner section when viewing any Crowdfunding or Peer to Peer page on a desktop, laptop, or tablet. On a mobile device, the share buttons appear when Share is selected in the upper right.

Best Practices

Write your share messages from the perspective of the supporter or donor by using first person pronouns like "I" and "My". Remember that the volunteer fundraisers and donors will be the ones sharing, so write it as if they did it themselves. This will easily provide your volunteers with marketing material to use in their fundraising efforts.

Note: The Facebook title for social sharing with Crowdfunding and Peer-to-Peer Fundraising uses your organization's name as listed in your GiveSmart Fundraise Organization Account Settings. For other activities such as Text to Donate, Ticketing, etc., Facebook's share inherits that activity's Campaign Name.
