Now the work begins! Posting your campaign on Faithify is only the first step.
Share your campaign
Spread the word! Share your campaign with your networks. Use #Faithify or tag @FaithifyUU so we can share your posts!
If you’re doing awesome outreach, funding for your campaign will come from an array of places – your congregation or organization, your friends and family, your social networks, and hopefully benevolent strangers. It’s totally on you to spread the word.
- Email links to your Faithify campaign page to everyone you know, and specifically ask them to go to the Faithify site and support your campaign with shares, or funds.
- Use every available social media platform to get the word out about your project:
- Your Facebook page
- Your congregation or community’s Facebook page
- Your son’s Facebook page
- Create a project Facebook page or event!
- Instagram or Snapchat stories
- Tweet away!
