Monthly content calendar for multiple platforms
The Prompt
The Prompt
Create a month-long social media content calendar for [ORGANIZATION NAME] for [MONTH/YEAR] that a one-person team can execute efficiently.
The calendar should:
- Cover platforms: [FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM/LINKEDIN/X/TIKTOK] (select which apply for our audience).
- Plan [2-3/3-5/5-7] posts per week total; set a realistic split by platform based on [FOLLOWER SIZE] (e.g., Facebook 2-3x/week for <10K).
- Organize by week with specific post dates and 1 “Flex/Timely” slot weekly for news, partnerships, or rapid response.
- Follow 60-30-10: tag each post as Education/Impact (60%), Community/BTS (30%), or Ask (10%) and balance across platforms.
- For each post include: platform, date, theme, caption template, visual/asset suggestion + aspect ratio, alt-text (20–30 words), best time (local [TIMEZONE]), 3–6 platform-appropriate hashtags, CTA/link (add [UTM CAMPAIGN]), audience segment [DONORS/VOLUNTEERS/CLIENTS/PARTNERS], and repurposing notes for other platforms.
- Caption lengths: Facebook/Instagram 50–90 words; LinkedIn 80–150 words; X 200–240 characters. Emojis [EMOJI: NONE/SPARING/FREQUENT]. Use first-person plural “we,” and note when to sign off by [STAFF NAME/TITLE] for personal stories.
- Optimize per platform (e.g., no links in IG captions; IG carousel/Reel guidance; LinkedIn mentions; X threads when needed).
- Integrate key dates: [CAMPAIGNS/EVENTS/ADVOCACY DAYS], awareness days, and program milestones; map to [CONTENT THEMES/BRAND PILLARS].
- Include two batch-creation blocks with grouped tasks (copy, assets, approvals) and a suggested scheduling plan using [TOOL].
- Provide an end section: weekly review checklist, simple tracker (Date | Platform | Posted? | Link), and KPI targets (reach, saves, CTR) for learning.
- Tone: [FORMAL/WARM/CASUAL] — FORMAL = funder/policy-ready; WARM = community-centered and hopeful; CASUAL = approachable and playful.
- Total output length: 800–1,100 words.
Prioritize clarity, inclusivity, and consent (no jargon, clichés, guilt/fright appeals, or “savior” framing). Use plain language (grade 7–9), people-first language, accurate alt-text, and ensure asks are specific and time-bound. Keep cadence consistent to reduce burnout; Flex slots maintain relevance without derailing the plan.
How to Customize
- Replace all [BRACKETED] fields with your specific information
- Adjust tone and length as needed for your audience
- Review and personalize before using

AI Evaluation Details (Score: 8.8/10)
This is an exceptionally thorough and professional social media calendar that goes well beyond basic requirements. It demonstrates deep understanding of nonprofit communications strategy, platform-specific best practices, and campaign sequencing. The output is immediately actionable with smart tie-ins to all three campaigns and a sophisticated Giving Tuesday build-up.
- • Outstanding completeness: delivers exactly 4 posts/week across all 4 weeks with clear content type labels (impact/education/behind-scenes/ask) as requested
- • Highly strategic campaign integration: seamlessly weaves Summer Mural recap, Back-to-School outcomes, and a sophisticated multi-week Giving Tuesday ramp with match reveal, peer fundraising, and countdown
- • Exceptional platform-specific guidance: includes Instagram Reels vs carousel recommendations, Facebook native video specs, Stories add-ons, hashtag strategy, and UTM tracking reminders
- • Practical, ready-to-execute format: each post includes concept, visuals description, caption starters, CTAs, and tie-ins—a communications coordinator could hand this directly to a designer
- • Smart use of timely hooks: integrates Veterans Day, World Kindness Day, National Philanthropy Day, and Thanksgiving authentically without forcing connections
- • Sophisticated donor journey: progresses from gratitude/impact → education/case-building → behind-scenes transparency → escalating asks with match incentives
- • Authentic voice for small community org: references specific details like bus passes, snacks, supply shelves, neighborhood corners, and parent volunteers that ring true for grassroots nonprofits
- • Bonus value-adds: includes optional Stories/Reels, creative tips, repurposing strategies, and offer to localize—shows genuine helpfulness beyond minimum requirements
- • Assumes November timing without confirming: the prompt didn't specify month, so defaulting to November (for Giving Tuesday) is logical but could have acknowledged this assumption more explicitly upfront
- • Minor date inconsistency: references 'this year: Dec 2' for Giving Tuesday but doesn't specify which year, and Nov 4 as 'Tuesday' only works in certain years—should note 'adjust dates to your calendar year'
- • Could overwhelm small org capacity: while the 'optional' Stories/Reels are labeled as add-ons, a small neighborhood nonprofit with limited staff might feel pressure to execute everything shown; could benefit from a 'minimum viable' vs 'ideal' distinction
- • Some CTAs may need refinement: 'Comment YES if you'll share our GT post' (Week 1 Sunday) is a soft commitment mechanism but could be strengthened with immediate action or clearer value exchange

AI Evaluation Details (Score: 8.8/10)
This is an exceptionally thorough and professional social media calendar that goes well beyond basic requirements. It demonstrates strong understanding of nonprofit communications, campaign integration, and platform-specific best practices. The output is immediately actionable with smart strategic choices, though some content feels slightly formulaic in places.
- • Outstanding completeness - includes all requested elements plus valuable extras like hashtag strategy, content mix verification, asset preparation notes, and UTM tracking reminders
- • Excellent campaign integration - seamlessly weaves together Hunger Action Month, Back-to-School Snack Pack Drive, and Holiday Meal Match teaser with natural progression and strategic timing
- • Platform-specific customization is sophisticated and accurate - different CTAs, formats, and messaging for Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn/X show real understanding of each platform's audience and norms
- • Strategic use of real nonprofit calendar dates (9/11 Day of Service, Labor Day, Hunger Action Day) demonstrates sector knowledge and adds authenticity
- • Smart content mix balancing impact stories, education, asks, and BTS content with actual tracking (6/4/6/4 breakdown provided)
- • Practical execution guidance including permission protocols, anonymization, short links, and daily engagement reminders shows real-world experience
- • Appropriate sensitivity around client stories with explicit consent/anonymization notes
- • Strong calls-to-action that vary appropriately (donate, volunteer, advocate, share, tag) rather than repetitive asks
- • Some caption language feels generic/templated ('Your support makes the difference,' 'Join us today') - could be more distinctive to organization's voice
- • The 'Maria' and 'James' placeholder names in impact stories, while common practice, feel slightly artificial without guidance on sourcing real testimonials
- • Minor assumption that September is the target month - could have been more explicit about adaptability to other months upfront
- • Could benefit from one or two specific creative concepts that are more memorable/shareable rather than standard nonprofit post formats throughout
