/in , /by

Instagram gains a new follower every second. Say it with me: EVERY SECOND. It’s not a stretch to say people love looking at photos, taking photos, and basically all things photo-related. This is what makes Instagram such a dynamic tool for nonprofit organizations.nonprofit

If you’re not familiar with Instagram, here’s the Campbell’s Soup version: Instagram is a smartphone app that allows you take a plain old photo and turn it into a work of art. Now that you have the gist of why Instagram is so darn popular, it’s time to tell you why it’s such a great find for nonprofit organizations. Alfred Stieglitz once said “In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.” The quote says it better than anything; Photos have the power to invoke all types of emotional responses. By running your photos through Instagram, you’re creating an eye-catching image to depict and build awareness for your organization.
