Best Practices

1. About. Briefly state the mission of your organization and the impact your programs create. This is also a good place for contact information.
2. Profile Picture. Your profile picture is a way to help people recognize your brand when they see a post from your Page in News Feed. We recommend a square version of your organization’s logo. Keep in mind, it’ll often appear small.
3. Cover Photo: Your cover photo should be an image that represents the work your organization does and the communities it serves.Use a high quality image that is visually appealing. Your cover photo can be changed at any time and is a good place to feature a special event or initiative. Learn more about guidelines for Page cover photos.
4. Video and Images. When you upload a photo or album, your supporters will see it as a post in News Feed. If you have videos that showcase your organization’s work and mission, add those here too. Some additional tips:Add descriptions to your photos
   Tag volunteers and supporters in the photos when possible
   
5. Milestones. Milestones are a great way to show people the history and progress of your organization. Consider including things like:When your organization was founded
   Impact from successful programs and events
   Your organization’s contributions to the progress made on major issues
   
6. Events. Your Page is a great way to let people know about events your organization is hosting. Read more about how to create and event for your page here.
