Graphics
Utilize the suite of social share images on the Unite for USD website to make your posts stand out on social media. Here’s a link to our downloadable graphic section.
You can also enhance your own personal photos using free online editing resources. Personalized graphics will highlight your story to make a greater impact when reaching out to friends and family through email and social media. Including the link to your favorite initiative, the organization's name and the #UniteforUSD hashtag on your image will make the graphic an even more powerful tool for fundraising!
