Hot Tips for Fundraising
Here are some great ways you can start your fundraising campaign and keep it going strong until the day of the March!
1. Personalize your fundraising page. From this platform you can tell your stories, post milestones and network.
2. Form a Team. When you start a team it’s easier to create a buzz around the event, and it’s more fun to raise money and participate with friends and co-workers.
3. Set a goal! You don’t have to reach for the stars, but if you do that’s great. A higher goal can keep you and your team motivated.
4. Start by making a self-donation. Lead the way and inspire your teammates to get the ball rolling!
5. Contact your contacts: friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues and let them know you’re part of a movement to improve public education. Let them know why this matters to you, and how they can contribute to your campaign.
6. Take to social: Let your networks know that you’re marching and why. Most importantly, stay connected!
7. Create friendly competition within the work space. See which department can raise the most money for the schools!
8. Stay connected with your team! Share inspiring quotes or stories from our Facebook page. Get them pumped and coordinated!
9. Host events! Get your community engaged with social events, office gatherings and team fundraisers.
10. Matching Gifts: Many companies will match their employees’ donations to a nonprofit. This is a fantastic way to easily double your team’s contributions. Check with your HR team to see if matching is available where you work!
