Nonprofit Instagram Post Examples
Fungai was the first person in Peter Village to build a toilet. At first, only a few families followed her example. But that soon changed. Today, thanks to our local partner WHH and Fungai’s efforts as the community health club leader, all 49 households have their own toilets.
The best news? What started here is expanding every day. After being inspired by Fungai and the changes they’ve seen in Peter Village, surrounding communities are now building their own toilets and adopting healthy habits.
It’s a huge step forward in minimizing contamination and maximizing health. Because when paired with access to clean water and good hygiene, toilets protect the health of entire communities. This is the transformation you empower when you give clean water!
This holiday season, you can help bring clean water to 40,000 more people, transform the future for more families, and equip more inspiring local leaders like Fungai. As always, @100percentfundscleanwater. Learn more at https://cwtr.org/3gYb2r9 (link in bio)

An epic narrative unfolds across Umar Rashid’s (@frohawktwofeathers) paintings, colliding real and fictional empires. Figures move between works, battles rage, winners capture their spoils, losers retreat, and the saga pushes forth.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing a #StorySpotlight that unspools the sojourn depicted in Umar’s exhibition at MoMA PS1, the final chapters of his ongoing series, “Ancien Regime Change.” In this painting, we join our weary comrades in the late 18th century, just as the fictitious Frenglish Empire (a French + English mashup) has defeated the Dutch in their quest for domination of Novum Eboracum (New York). Despite the Frenglish victory, fighting still continues within the rebel faction, made up of Indigenous tribes, formerly enslaved people, and mercenaries dressed in black. Many rebels resort to suicide attacks in order to cause dismay among the Frenglish occupiers, dressed in blue.
Umar writes:
“Though most were unsuccessful, they were nonetheless psychologically intimidating to the occupiers, and strangely beautiful.”

How Nonprofits Can Create Great Instagram Posts
For nonprofit organizations, Instagram offers a powerful platform to share their story, rally support, and mobilize a community around their cause. With its visually-driven format, Instagram can help nonprofits connect with followers on an emotional level, inspiring action and fostering engagement. However, standing out in a crowded social media landscape requires strategy, creativity, and a keen understanding of what resonates with audiences. Here’s how nonprofits can craft Instagram posts that not only highlight their mission but also engage and inspire their community.
Tell Your Story with Authenticity
At the heart of every nonprofit is a story. Use Instagram to share the real, human stories behind your work. This could be the journey of individuals you’ve helped, volunteer highlights, or the impact of your projects. Authentic storytelling fosters a deeper connection with your audience, making your mission relatable and compelling.
Utilize High-Quality Visuals
Visuals are crucial on Instagram. Use high-quality photos and videos to capture the essence of your work. Before and after shots, impactful moments from events, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into your projects can all help illustrate your nonprofit’s impact. Remember, compelling visuals can evoke emotions and drive engagement.
Engage with Interactive Content
Interactive content like polls, quizzes, and questions in your Instagram Stories can be a great way to engage your audience. Not only does this foster a two-way conversation, but it also provides valuable insights into your followers’ interests and opinions, helping you tailor your content strategy.
Highlight Success Stories and Milestones
Celebrate your successes and milestones with your Instagram community. Sharing stories of achievement, whether it’s the number of people you’ve helped or the completion of a project, can inspire and motivate your followers. It’s a way to show the tangible impact of their support, encouraging further engagement and donations.
Use Hashtags Strategically
Hashtags increase the visibility of your posts to a broader audience. Use a mix of general hashtags (#NonProfit, #Charity) and those specific to your cause (#EndHunger, #ClimateAction). Research trending and relevant hashtags to ensure your posts reach those interested in your mission.
Leverage User-Generated Content
Encourage your followers, volunteers, and those you’ve helped to share their stories and experiences related to your nonprofit. Reposting this user-generated content adds authenticity to your profile and shows the broader impact of your work from multiple perspectives.
Offer Ways to Get Involved
Use your Instagram posts to provide clear calls-to-action. Whether you’re promoting a fundraising event, encouraging volunteer sign-ups, or sharing ways to donate, make it easy for your followers to understand how they can support your cause. Direct links in your bio or swipe-up features in Stories can direct traffic to your website or donation page.
Share Educational Content
Position your nonprofit as a thought leader in your field by sharing informative content related to your cause. This can be through infographics, short videos, or carousel posts that educate your audience about the issues you’re tackling. Educating your followers not only raises awareness but also empowers them to advocate for your cause.
Nonprofits have a unique opportunity to use Instagram as a platform for storytelling, community building, and advocacy. By leveraging the power of authentic storytelling, high-quality visuals, and strategic engagement, nonprofits can create a compelling Instagram presence that not only highlights their mission but also inspires action. Remember, the goal is to not just attract followers, but to build a community that is actively engaged and committed to your cause. With creativity, authenticity, and a clear strategy, your nonprofit can harness the power of Instagram to amplify your impact and bring about real change.
