Tips & Ideas for Fundraising
- Social Media Challenge: Use social media as a way to interact with others close to the cause and to promote your fundraising efforts. Encourage your friends to share your fundraising page - maybe offer to make a $5 donation in the name of anyone who shares your page or their own story (A great way to encourage participation if you were already going to make some donations).
- Hashtag Challenges: Hashtags are a great way to engage with your network! Use the any hashtags associated with the organization you’re fundraising for to promote their positive impact and to share reasons why being a fundraising champion is important to you.
- Real-Time Thank Yous: During the campaign and the day after - thank donors on social media by shooting them an @mention on twitter!
Popular Hashtags
Expand the reach of your fundraising page by inserting key hashtags in the conversation!
- Campaign Hashtag: Your campaign hashtag posts will be searchable by anyone looking to be involved in the giving celebration
- Organization Hashtag: Posts with the organization hashtag will be searchable by anyone already connected to or looking to be involved in the organization you are fundraising for
- Cause Hashtag: Reach those already passionate about the cause the organization you are fundraising for supports
Graphics
The organization you are fundraising for might offer logos, branding or social share images for the campaign. Utilize those in your fundraising page as well as social media fundraising posts to stand out and increase brand awareness/consistency for the organization and campaign.
You can also enhance your own personal photos using free online editing resources like Canva. Personalized graphics will highlight your story to make a greater impact when reaching out to friends and family through email and social media. And including the link to your fundraising page, the organization's name, and the campaign hashtag on your image will make the graphic an even more powerful tool for fundraising!
