Looking for creative ways to get your nonprofit community talking? Would You Rather questions are a playful and easy way to spark conversations, break the ice, and make your members feel included. These templates take the guesswork out of engagement so you can focus on building stronger connections.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Would You Rather prompts work because they invite participation without requiring deep expertise or vulnerable sharing. By offering two fun and imaginative choices, these questions help members reflect, share opinions, and learn about each other in a low-pressure way. This format is especially effective in nonprofit communities, where members often share a passion but may come from diverse backgrounds.
The playful, hypothetical scenarios create a safe space for everyone to join the conversation. Members can quickly respond, compare answers, and even debate in good fun, which increases visibility and strengthens bonds. Over time, regular Would You Rather posts reinforce a sense of belonging and spark ongoing engagement, making your nonprofit community more active and welcoming.
