Share on Social Media
Social media is a powerful tool for spreading awareness. You can easily find like-minded individuals through forums, Facebook groups, and Twitter hashtags, to name a few, and start a healthy conversation with them. You can even connect with people from overseas to create an even wider network of advocates.
- Create a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser and Share on your social media, email and with family and friends to encourage them to donate to your cause.
- Identify your supporters – who do you want to engage? Who do you want to get behind you on raising awareness and money?
- Set up hashtags related to your cause. Check out what other groups/influencers use to raise awareness about a similar cause.
- Create some graphics for your campaign – Canva is a great tool to use to create compelling graphics.
Tech developments also allow people to discuss ideas and information on different platforms. You can host a live video Q&A, conduct surveys, and create different materials like animated GIFs to further grab your audience’s attention and let them know more about your cause.” – from Wrist Band Creation.com – 10 things you can do to raise awareness about a cause
Research
A well-informed advocate is the best kind. You can answer questions from interested parties, debunk myths from naysayers, and further educate your fellow supporters. A wealth of information is available both online and offline. Just remember to verify the credibility of your sources so that you’re always equipped with the correct information.
Create A Peer-To-Peer Fundraising Page
Another part of awareness campaigns, and something that is picking up quickly with many charity organizations, is creating a peer-to-peer fundraising page. Each of these fundraising pages has a goal of how much you want to fundraise and by what date. Once this is created – share on social media with your friends!

Share your personal story
Nothing can be more believable than people who are campaigning and supporting a cause that they have experienced first-hand or through a loved one. This is especially true for causes that support medical and health research, emergency response, and environmental protection.
Share your story online, accept speaking engagements should you be invited, or speak out during meetings. You will lend credibility and strength to your cause.
Your small way of supporting your favorite cause can have a positive impact if you’re consistent and honest. Have you found your means to help? Do it today and start building awareness so that it can be turned into action in the near future
