Consider infographics or memes. @NextNonprofits #gtmd15 18 6 9/8/2015 Give to the Max – GiveMN images GiveMN.org has a toolkit with images to use in the campaign. Use them with your own, not instead of yours. @NextNonprofits #gtmd15 19 Give to the Max - Videos Video support can be very helpful. Keep them short. A phone-camera video is better than no video.
