1. Create and share petitions

Petitions are a dynamic method to rally support and raise awareness for your cause. NationBuilder makes it simple for you to create compelling petitions that resonate with your audience and are highly effective in sparking immediate action. By embedding petitions on your website or sharing them across social platforms, you can encourage widespread participation and attract new supporters.

2. Create a donation button

With the support of features from NationBuilder add-on ActionButton, your 501c3 charity organization gains a seamless donation button. This embeddable donation button can be added to any webpage or shared across your social media platforms to invite your community to contribute to your mission with just a few clicks. 

Whether supporters find your cause through a shared post, newsletter, or your social media bio, they can seamlessly complete their donations without ever leaving the page, reducing friction and ensuring a seamless experience. By providing supporters with an intuitive and accessible donation option, get ready to boost engagement and reach your financial potential.

 Quick Tip: Unleash the power of a two-step button: Captivate your supporter’s attention and inspire meaningful participation with a compelling quiz or poll button, introducing supporters to your cause through a short quiz or story.

3. Create and share events

Allow your supporters to self-organize within their community and keep building on the momentum you've worked hard to create. With NationBuilder, you can host events for community events, parties, etc. You're able to accept RSVPs, sell tickets, track attendance, host virtual events, and more. Plus, you can display all events in your nation on a calendar page.

 Quick Tip: After you have created your event page, it is time to share the page with your supporters. You could send an email blast, or easily create an automated workflow series that will send emails to supporters who have yet to RSVP to the event.

4. Automate your processes

Speaking of automating workflows...

Build relationships with your supporters without creating more work for you and your team. Streamline communication and manage unique supporter journeys at scale with automated email series. Supporters can be sent communications automatically when they take an action on a specific website page.

Automation is the key to efficiency and scalability. With NationBuilder, you can automate various processes using page-based, list-based, or multiple-source automations. Whether it's capturing signups, managing donations, or tracking event participation, automation streamlines your workflow and ensures no supporter falls through the cracks.

 Quick tip: Begin your automation journey with automated welcome and thank you series, fostering connections with new supporters and showing appreciation for considerate donations.

5. Use Social Capital to engage supporters

Social capital can be a powerful tool used internally or externally to engage your supporters, encourage activity, and create clarity for your team. Measure the effort a supporter devotes to achieving your goals, as well as the effort needed to build the relationship with that supporter.

It can be used to:

• Award capital for actions you want to encourage
• Deduct capital for actions you wish to deter
• Manage the resources spent on building relationships
• Identify and empower leaders
• Measure supporter engagement 

 Quick tip: Fuel friendly competition and motivate supporters by creating a leaderboard to track progress towards your goals. Identify top supporters and award capital for actions like link sharing, signups, donations, and more.

The key to driving meaningful change lies in equipping leaders to take action. With NationBuilder's innovative tools and limitless potential, you can pave the way for a brighter future of transformative progress. So why wait? Start building a powerful movement today and unleash the full potential of your vision for change.
