Your Writing Prompts for February 2024
On the Calendar
2/2: Groundhog Day. What gauge does your nonprofit use to determine whether “Spring” — or some other good news — is just around the corner? Is there an event or situation that just keeps happening over and over and over (a la the Groundhog Day movie)?
2/6: Optimist Day. Save the doom and gloom news for another day. Share what you are most looking forward to and help others see the bright side.
2/11: Make a Friend Day. Ask your supporters to refer a friend to your cause.
2/14: Valentine’s Day. Send a “love letter” to your supporters. Or encourage self-care.
2/17: Random Acts of Kindness Day. Catch volunteers in the act of doing something good with photos. Or ask your supporters to share good deeds they see on Instagram or other social sites with a specific hashtag or post to your Facebook Page.
2/17: President’s Day (U.S.). Profile a President who was a champion of your cause. If Washington or Lincoln were alive today, what would they think about your cause or the country in general?
2/20: Love Your Pet Day. Have staff share pictures of their pets or have your followers post theirs. Take one of those “what kind of dog breed/animal/pet are you” type quizzes and share the results.
2/26: Tell a Fairy Tale Day. Make your supporters the hero of a story. Tell the tale of the reluctant hero who steps up to battle a mighty foe.
02/29: Leap Day. Encourage supporters to make a difference with the extra 24 hours. Have an expert or local celebrity takeover your social media accounts for the day.
