These are a charity’s shop window on LinkedIn.

It is a place for your followers to gain insight not only into what a charity stands for, but what you are actively doing as well. For charities, this opens up a wealth of opportunities to share content, news and events with a wide range of potential supporters.

There are over 165,000 non-profit pages on LinkedIn so make sure your cause stands out.

At Links2leads, our team of LinkedIn experts employ a variety of techniques to achieve this and make your number of followers grow.

Utilise your colleagues and volunteers

Involve them in your new LinkedIn marketing plan as they will be your charity’s biggest advocate.
Encourage your team to use their personal LinkedIn profiles to build connections following meetings, conferences and networking events.

Our LinkedIn Trainers deliver bespoke workshops for your charity to show how they can extend the reach of your appeal, campaign or latest news.

Regularly post your charity news and events

Let the world know that you are looking for help in a particular area of your charity; whether it be volunteers, staff or a particular request. Lots of companies have a policy of corporate social responsibility programmes, so you may find that a company responds to your cry for help.

Network regularly to spread the word

LinkedIn helps you to connect with the gatekeepers of many organisations. Want to reach that elusive pro bono partner at a City firm or a high net worth individual?
It helps you look for individuals who have expressed an interest in volunteering. Use LinkedIn for Volunteers to find potential candidates.
Joining the right LinkedIn Groups can help to alert individuals to your charity’s work, and there are support networks readily available.

Engage regularly with your connections

Communication is not a one-way street. You need to engage regularly with your supporters and connections by commenting on their updates and discussions.

As experienced LinkedIn consultants we offer bespoke training and personal marketing plans to ensure that you really maximise the benefits of using LinkedIn.

Get in touch with us to find out how we can help your charity use LinkedIn to find new supporters and fundraisers.

But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what people say about us…

I recently attended a LinkedIn course run by Rachel. She was really informative and professional. I came away with a host of things I could apply to my use of LinkedIn from the profile to looking at how to use the platform as a more productive business tool.

Following my attendance at one of Rachel's engrossing training days on the use of LinkedIn, I asked her to re-write my LinkedIn Profile, and I am very pleased with the result. It took my Profile from an "intermediate" ranking to an "all star" and I have high hopes of seeing many more leads through LinkedIn as a result of this exercise. Thank you Rachel.

I attended Rachel’s LinkedIn Stage 1 training course having set up my profile some time ago, but not really known how to use it. I felt that I was trying to navigate without a map or GPS, but Rachel helped me get a better feel for how LinkedIn works and how to use it to best advantage.

Rachel is a calm and patient teacher, who presents the material in a logical progression and explains each point clearly. I left fired with enthusiasm for LinkedIn and feeling that I had a powerful tool at my fingertips. Rachel provided excellent aftercare when I got stuck with a technical problem after the course and she has got me back on track. I would highly recommend Links2Leads to anyone wanting to get to grips with LinkedIn or to optimise their use of it to find leads.
