Instagram provides an easy way for followers to fundraise for a nonprofit on their birthday through its "Birthday Fundraiser" feature. Here's how a follower on Instagram can fundraise on the app for your nonprofit on their birthday:
1. Set up a Birthday Fundraiser: A follower can create a Birthday Fundraiser by clicking on the three lines at the top right corner of their Instagram profile and selecting "Fundraisers" from the menu. From there, they can select "Birthday" and choose your nonprofit as the beneficiary.
2. Set a Fundraising Goal: The follower can set a fundraising goal and customize their fundraiser by adding a title and a photo. They can also add a message explaining why they are fundraising for your nonprofit.
3. Share the Fundraiser: Once the Birthday Fundraiser is set up, the follower can share it with their followers through Instagram posts and stories. They can also send direct messages to friends and family members, encouraging them to donate.
4. Track Progress and Thank Donors: The follower can track the progress of the fundraiser and thank donors who have contributed to the cause. They can also use Instagram's "Thank You" sticker to express their gratitude to donors in their stories.
It's important to note that Instagram requires a follower to be at least 18 years old to set up a Birthday Fundraiser. Additionally, the nonprofit must be registered and approved to receive donations on Instagram. It's also a good idea to provide the follower with information about your nonprofit and how their donations will be used to support your cause.
