Okay, hear me out. We ditched our annual gala for a meme campaign :tada:. Results: 30% more donations. WHY are memes so powerful for nonprofits?? :thinking:

Gala = cringe. Memes = vibes. People give $ when they relate. Anyone sayin’ memes don’t work is sleeping on the culture, fr :sleeping_face:.

Our team tried something similar using TikTok trends to raise awareness—saw a 25% boost in engagement :eyes:. It’s all about meeting donors where they’re at.

Have y’all seen the new ‘Donate or Dance’ challenge? It’s like ice bucket, but for good vibes :ocean::woman_dancing:. Raised $50k in a week.

The secret sauce? Authenticity. Memes say ‘we get you,’ galas say ‘we’re old.’ Keep it real, keep it cash :money_with_wings:.

Ok but are memes sustainable for long-term donor relations? Can humor build loyalty as well as $$$? :thinking:

@lurkerLou I’ve seen meme accounts sustain engagement longer than most campaigns. It’s about evolving with the trends :glowing_star:.

Numbers don’t lie. An event could cost $100k+, but a meme campaign? $0 budget, 100x the fun.

We gotta talk ROI. Memes convert faster + engage Gen Z. You know, the ones inheriting the world :flexed_biceps::globe_showing_europe_africa:.

But what if a meme flops? Strategy B? Meme fail = awkward LOL, but isn’t that part of the fun? :laughing:

To avoid flops, collab with meme creators who get your message. Seamless content = better reach.
