Tips for Success
- Set a realistic goal and break it down (e.g., 10 friends donating $10 each = $100).
- Tell your story. Share wihy this cause matters to you and why people should give. When people know your personal connection, they’re more excited to support your efforts.
- Reach out personally. People are more likely to donate when asked directly. Email, text, phone call… whatever feels right to you.
- Use social media to spread the word. Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, TikTok, Tumblr… wherever you have the strongest presence, you’re most likely to rally support.
- Say thank you! A simple message of appreciation keeps donors engaged.
