FUNDRAISING TIPS
-
Go BIG on social media! Invite your community to join you on November 28. Share your chapter's team page and ask them to support your fundraising efforts by making a donation. Use the hashtag #GivingTuesday in your messages.
-
Send your network a calendar invite. Literally. Include a calendar invite link in your email/posts with exact instructions for what you'd like them to do. (You can use something like Add Event.) Make sure you include a link to make a donation.
-
Schedule a few emails and social posts the week before to remind your supporters that the big day is coming.
-
Remind your Black Friday and Cyber Monday shoppers to save some energy for GivingTuesday.
-
Send/post a "1 Day to Go" email and social messages.
-
Send/post frequently ON GivingTuesday. Share where you are against your goal and use the buzz and momentum from the day to build excitement. Don't forget to thank the donors and people who are helping!
