11 Must-Follow Nonprofits on Instagram

August 5, 2012

For the mobile social media manager, Instagram is a must-download photo-sharing smartphone app – and with more than 80 million users who to date have shared over four billion photos – its quickly becoming a community that early adopter nonprofits have added to their regular list of must-do’s. The social networking component of Instagram is smartphone-based and most of the interactions you have will occur in the palm of your hand as you share your nonprofit’s story on the go, but numerous third-party apps, such as Webstagram and Followgram (the latter being my first choice… less obtrusive ads, but it was down when I was writing this blog ), have used the Instagram API to bring to enable easy Web viewing.

All that said, the 11 nonprofits featured below are pioneering the use of Instagram. To see more nonprofits utilizing Instagram, follow me at web.stagram.com/n/nonprofitorgs where I only follow nonprofits.  Finally, to learn more about Instagram and other photo-sharing tools, please see the upcoming webinar How Nonprofits Can Successfully Use Pinterest and Utilize Digital Photography for Nonprofit Storytelling.
