Online Fundraising Tips
Create Goals. Create both internal and public goals you’d like to achieve for each campaign. This will help you measure success.
Build an Editorial Calendar. Map out your outreach activity to stay organized for consistent messaging.
Host a Live Event! Get your supports interested.
Prep Yourself
Use Images and VideoCampaigns with at least one image or video raise 2x more money than those without. So, use imagery that helps tell your story and speaks to your audience.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Start by asking your inner circle and expand
from there.
Be direct and ASK your supporters to take action.

Volunteers, Friends
Donors, Social Networks
Stay Connected Share and ask donors to share. One Facebook share is
worth around $18 in donations.
Make Conversation. Razoo campaigns with at least one comment raise 8.3x more money.
Think 50/50. Balance your “donate” posts with original content, information or conversation to bring meaning to your social media persona.
Empower motivated supporters. Razoo calls them “champions of a cause”, these motivated donors are able to fundraiser on your behalf- so ask them too!
THANK YOUR SUPPORTERS, THEN DO IT AGAIN!

Try something new, experiment Have an internal competition Active Your Volunteer Base Get Your Board members involved
Fundraise with your personality Connect online and offline with the actual work you do
Be Creative!
Keeping it Real Online Fundraising does not replace traditional
fundraising, it expands impact and donor base.
It is not one size fits all: some strategies may work for your NPO, others not so much.
It is not an over-night success story: commit the time needed to your online campaign.
A monetary goal is not always the only goal: awareness, volunteerism, followers, likes, conversation, lessons learned- it all has value.
You will raise more money online than you think! SO COMMIT TO THE CHALLENGE!
Thank You!
