Infographics are becoming a valued new trend in social media marketing for nonprofits. Visual designs are a great way to put hard data and information in an interesting, simple and easy to read format. Infographics also makes sharing among different social media networks quick and easy. Luckily, one doesn’t have to be a graphic design expert to be able to create a stunning infographic. Online services such as Infogr.am, Canva, Piktochart and Venngage have made creating infographics effortless. Here are a few tips on creating an impressive infographic.
A good infographic is one that tells a story and provides supporting, useful and interesting information. Creating an infographic about a nonprofit’s cause and the impact it has made on a particular community presents a powerful message. Don’t forget to plug essential supporting data.
When using one of the many infographic online services then this step is automatically done through pre-designed infographic templates. However, creating a custom design tailored to a nonprofit’s brand is always the best option. There is no standard format for infographics so feel free to be creative and show off that great work!
Incorporating fun, interactive pieces to an infographic is sure to get people interested, curious and engaged. Whether it’s using animation, clickable content, or page scrolling, interactive infographics is the key to making data come to life.
Once you finish the infographic, the next step is to make it public. A great way to share an infographic is to embed it as a page on a website. With the rise of social media producing an infographic in a portable document format, or .pdf, has become an outdated practice. That’s why having an infographic embedded on a website makes it readily accessible and easy to share through link sharing or pinning.
Using infographics brings life to online content, validates a commitment to social media, and improves accessibility for donors.

First Nonprofit has saved us so much money over the state’s program. We had one little glitch with the state recently and we contacted FNP immediately. FNP staff called us back immediately and moved to remedy the problem.
First Nonprofit has been a great partner. They have helped us saved hundreds of thousands of dollars! They have awesome resources for our nonprofit organization. Thanks for the partnership.
Life is certainly busy these days but having business partners like First Nonprofit has made some of the process hassle free. We have worked with this team for years. When we changed payroll systems, they outlined every step. I think this team is terrific and I know they get the job done! Thank you, Cruz, to all the team at FNP.
FNP has helped our agency to save thousands of dollars every year on our unemployment coverage. The service is phenomenal, and we are thankful to their team as our partner. My experience working with Marshall on the advocacy around UE for nonprofits was also a highlight as someone who teaches advocacy and lobbying for nonprofits. Really, your whole team is top shelf, so thank YOU!
Chicago Children’s Theatre has greatly benefited from our partnership with First Nonprofit, and I have always enjoyed working with the staff on our filings and any complicated questions. I would not hesitate to recommend First Nonprofit to fellow nonprofits. We’re very happy customers.
FNP is a great resource for Daniel Kids. To have a TPA that we can count on to take point on not only managing our unemployment claims, but to support and guide any protest hearing, is invaluable. All the professional support staff we have worked with have been excellent, very knowledgeable and responsive. We are grateful for the help and support, thank you.
When I first began in my position at my organization, I hadn’t had experience working with a company like FNP. The staff was so patient and helpful in helping to explain the benefits of First Nonprofit. Anytime I reach out with a question I receive a quick, clear, and thorough response. I’m so thankful that we decided to partner with FNP. Their excellence in customer service, coupled with their variety of packages frees us up to truly serve our staff and community with a peace of mind knowing that our organization is protected against unanticipated unemployment insurance expenses.
First Nonprofit gets an A+ in my book. You are so easy to work with & very knowledgeable! Whether it is my quarterly correspondence with Kim or my random interactions with Dawn about a bond … I am so pleased that I get to work with such a helpful company. Thank you!
