SOCIAL NETWORKING HELPS WITH FUNDRAISING


Social networking is a great way to raise funds for your club's project or an upcoming volunteer service trip. One online fundraising tool is a fundraising page. There are many services available to help you start one of these pages, and a web search will help you identify one to suit your needs. Here are some tips to keep in mind when developing a fundraising page:
  • Start with a modest fundraising goal.
  • Include a project description, story, photos, and a video, if possible.
  • Develop a creative campaign. For example, plan a fundraising day on your birthday.
  • Use a service that allows donors to give online.
  • Use social networking to publicize your campaign. On Facebook, you can start a group that includes a link to your fundraising page.
  • Add the URL for your fundraising page to your e-mail signature.
  • Send reminders, but don't overdo it. Two to three reminders should be sufficient.
  • Send your donors updates.
  • Thank your donors.
