- Accountability is important. In fact, the Millennial Donor report says it’s the second most important factor behind a peer request in garnering donations. Treat donors like investors. Show them how their money will benefit society and make a difference. Highlight videos of beneficiaries. Let them tell their story to donors.Lastly, they want you to use social to provide access.
- Idea – it’s a campaign plan it before you put up your page
- PERHAPS WE JUST SHOW THE KID VIDEO HERE???? Girl with post it notes
- People like to have fun — not feel guilty. Humor, if used tastefully, can add a good dose of levity and fun to your fundraising effort. Even as you’re solving the world’s major problems, you can have some good laughs. Entertainment is another great way. This Ferrari dealer celebrated its heritage by offering a screening of an acclaimed Italian film and donated proceeds to charity. Humor and entertainment are part of what can make the giving and fundraising effort more social.
- Speak to widgets and facebook
- You can use incremental goals and updates to keep your donors engaged in your ongoing story. Not only will your supporters enjoy seeing your success, but these regular updates serve as reminders for those who haven’t given yet. Also post interesting, eye-catching things that can encourage your friends to share it with their friends on their own social pages.
- People have now donated. This is an investment in you, and your belief in a cause. You owe it to them to report back. Reporting back accomplishes a couple of things:Rewards the investment, and increases the likelihood of future investmentsMay create a bond between the investor and the cause, increasing the likelihood of deeper engagementProtects your friendship so they don’t feel hit up.
