You know successful fundraising requires some effort. We’re here to help regardless of the fundraising method or fundraising partner you are using. Here are a few tried and true tips for experienced fundraisers and novices alike.

Pull out all the stops with these proven fundraising tactics:

• If you are asking for pure cash donations, leverage your supporters’ potential company match possibility.
• If you are using an online shopping partner, have your supporters’ families think about stocking up on household goods. Also, your team or activity should buy supplies for the team through this online shopping partner.
• Make it a time-limited blitz – raise $$ goal in 2 weeks.
• Engage and outreach – post the fundraiser on Facebook and other social media sites to engage your friends and family and encourage your stakeholders to do the same.
• In every fundraising communication, be sure to always include the purpose of the fundraiser, as well as the $ goal and deadline.
• Last, but not least, thank supporters with a note to everyone who has contributed with heartfelt thanks, as this is always appreciated.
