There are many organizations where volunteers manage the social-media presence. I'm in favor of using volunteers and am well aware how cash-strapped everyone is. But a small note of caution: Volunteers aren't always available, which means you're only sporadically seen on social-media platforms. Sure, they can write content and autopost it, but what if they're not around to respond to inquiries? You've missed a chance to engage. In other words, free doesn't always mean free.
Attention! Social Media Does Not Equal Fundraising!
