Social media posts<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media posts with visual elements like photos, videos, and graphics typically garner better engagement than those without. Whether you\u2019re creating content for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/facebook-for-nonprofits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/instagram-fundraising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/tiktok-for-good\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TikTok<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it can be a time-consuming process to build impactful and beautiful posts that will encourage your audience to like, share, comment, and click. Canva not only offers templates, photo editing, and video creation for all of the above (and more!) that are pre-sized for each channel, but you can also schedule your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/social-media\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media posts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> right there in the tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>7. Charity brochures<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your nonprofit provides services to your community, charity brochures can be another powerful marketing tool for potential beneficiaries and supporters alike.

Impact reports and infographics<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonprofits use impact reports and infographics to share program details and show how donors are making a difference. Creating an impact report that is as interesting as it is informative can be a challenge. Canva offers several impact report templates &#8211; as well as annual reports &#8211; to get you started!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impact reports help nonprofits create and maintain trusting relationships with their donors.
