Top tips from GivenGain to boost your #TTOM2023 fundraising efforts
19 December 2022
It’s the best time of year to show your favourite charity some love and support! Here are some tips from GivenGain on how to fundraise for your chosen charity successfully and/or grow your charity’s support base.
TELL YOUR STORY
Communication is key and passion is power! Tell your visitors why you are fundraising and what direct positive impact their support will have. Better yet, say it in a YouTube video or Instagram post!
SHOW THE PROOF
Are you running a marathon, cycling a race or swimming a mile as part of your fundraising? Show off a visual display of your training by linking your Strava profile to your fundraising account and then adding an update on your fundraising project page.
SHARE YOUR PROJECT LINK
Tell friends, family and colleagues about your project through personal e-mails, word of mouth, Facebook, Twitter or your blog. Always include a link to your project page.
THANK YOUR DONORS
Keep your donors motivated by taking the time to thank each one individually when they make a donation. This often leads to more donations.
KEEP ASKING
Let your followers know how your fundraising project is going, whether it is preparing for a race or reaching an important milestone. Always include an ask in your update.
MOBILISE YOUR NETWORK
As the saying goes, “1 plus 1 equals 11”. Raise the visibility of your project by asking your network to spread the word about it!
