Fundraising Strategies
You’ve likely been asked for money for charities, causes and people in need through crowdfunding sites, social media platforms and other online fundraising platforms. Here are some ways to avoid donating to a scammer.
But a dishonest business person might lie about the project or product and about the development period. And he or she might lie about the rewards donors will receive when the product is finished.
If you participate in social media, you’ve probably seen posts from people asking for donations. Pay attention to who is asking for money and who will receive it. Don’t assume that a donation request posted on social media is legitimate or that the hyperlinks are correct simply because a friend posted it.
If you work for a charitable organization that is considering using an online fundraising platform to raise funds for the organization, read the recommendations for Online Charitable Giving Portals.
Fundraising project
It’s a good idea to create at least one custom graphic (try using Canva) for your contest. Ideally, use your own hashtag. You can also contact a local celebrity who has a lot of influence on social media, and ask them to share the news about your contest. Another option is to use local media.
Of course, a contest is not considered a contest until there is a deadline to enter it, or several rounds of participation with increasing challenges. Choose a deadline to convey a sense of urgency to your supporters.
When fundraising for a charity, supporters will often ask for ways to help other than donating. Ask them to help with volunteer work, which can then be converted into funds.
