Request a Boost From CHUN

Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods mission is to engage people and facilitate dialogue.  A part of achieving that is helping our nonprofit partners whose work directly impacts the residents and community of the greater Capitol Hill area.  If you are a nonprofit that has an event or message you'd like to promote on Facebook and Twitter to our 3500 followers, please submit it to chun@chundenver.org with the following best practices in mind. 

Already Have a Post to Boost?
If you've already created a Facebook event or a content post, please let us know the link and we will share and boost your content directly rather than re-create it.​

Want a Fresh Post?
For new posts, please follow the guidelines below.

Guidelines for submitting requests: 

1. Submit your text in text format (Word or plain text; not PDF) so that copying and pasting is simple for our administrators. 
2. Identify yourself in your text. For example, don't use "we" or "us".  Use your proper name (e.g. "The City and County of Denver" or "Walk Denver").  
3. Please include all of the information in the text copy, including who, what, where, and if possible, why.   
   1. Here is an example of ideal content:
      "[Nonprofit Partner Who Has An Overlapping Mission with CHUN, Inc.], is seeking feedback about [A Topic] and would like to hear from area residents to improve their services.  Please attend their public meeting on November 2 at [A Location Ideally Located in the CHUN Boundaries] at 6 pm. For more information visit [web URL].")
4. If you have images or art you'd like to use, please submit them via email in Facebook-friendly resolution and sizes.
   1. Make sure the image is at least 600px wide/high minimum on a side
      1. Facebook link image size: 1200 x 628
      2. Facebook image post size: 1200 x 900
      3. Facebook highlighted image size: 1200 x 717
      4. Facebook event image size: 1920 x 1080
   2. File size should be less than 5MB
   3. File Types: PNG or JPG
5. Limit your text copy to a readable and digestible length for Facebook posts.  A best practice is no more than 400 characters or your post is cut off (truncated). 
6. Create an event on your own page.  Instead of just a text post about an event, make it exciting and shareable by creating a Facebook event where you can track attendance, encourage people to share with their friends, and boost visibility.  An event is infinitely superior to a text post and we are happy to share it directly.
