If you are a location-based nonprofit, such as a museum or zoo, then also add your address. For example, the Field Museum tags itself when posting on Instagram, thus also posting to the Field Museum Location Page : That said, if your nonprofit does not yet have a Location Page, you can create one using Facebook Check-in.

It’s easier to keep a member than to acquire a new one, so focus on communication and experiences for a successful membership retention rate. One might support conservation while another is intrigued by your toddler program. And while attracting new members is a never-ending process, retaining existing members is equally as important.
