OnlineFundraisingTips •  Set a realistic Goal – not too low as people like to help achieve, like to believe their

donation is making an impact - you can increase later (go over)

•  Picture – use either team / logo / product something people relate to – otherwise free pictures (Pixabay.com, unsplash.com)

•  Description – express how you feel –  Ask to “donate & share” –  Ask for “free donation” - Not everyone will be able to donate ask to still share –  Incentive for people who are ok to publish their name (ex: restaurant – your

first meal when we reopen is on us, free desert for a year, gift card of the same amount…) Send them also a personal message, outside the fundraiser.

•  Promote it: Post it on all your social media and website, shorten link (bitly.com – ex:bit.ly/supportustoday), txt the link, newsletters, post on patch & wickedlocal, link it to a virtual event in eventbrite - Invite everybody you know - Post Updates
