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. Learn about Rotary International's social networking pages.
