Instagram is a powerhouse when it comes to social media marketing and raising awareness. And with the addition of Instagram fundraising tools, such as the profile Donate button and the Instagram Donation Sticker, it's become one to watch in terms of driving donations.

According to Pew Research, 40% of US adults say they use Instagram - and the platform has a notably strong following with young adults. In fact, a majority of 18- to 29-year-olds say they use Instagram (71%) or Snapchat (65%), while roughly half say the same for TikTok.

Nonprofits small and large are using it to share their stories, showcase impact, and directly engage with their stakeholders. But did you know that nonprofits can also use Instagram to build their email subscribers?

In this quickie episode, I give you 4 ways that you can grow your nonprofit email list using Instagram.
