New participants for
fundraising can find the task overwhelming in the beginning. This is where you
should step in to help them raise funds for the social or community event the
first time. You can make this task easy for them by guiding them on how to use
the fundraising portal so that they can understand it well and use it to the
best advantage.
AmFund - Online
tools to spotlight for social and community events
AmFund is a part of
the American Fundraising Foundation that is aleading name in the USA when it
comes to fundraising events for social and community causes. The experts here
help their clients when it comes to the organizing of fundraising events in the
nation. They say when you have new participants for the fundraising event, they
are not sure where to start. This is where you should step in to help them, and
the best place, to begin with, are online tools.
Personal web
pages for participants
You can give first-time
participants their own personal web page on your fundraising portal. This page
can contain their photo, some cool widgets, or a video that presents them and
the mission of your cause to the public. Participants should use their own
stories to share with the public so that they can effectively connect with
potential donors in the field. There can also be a team page for the cause with
a team captain in place. This will help all the members of the team drive funds
into a common cause together.
Wield the power
of email tools
If your
participants use emails in your fundraising campaign, they effectively can
establish a personal touch with donors. They can raise money and thank donors
with a single email. Participants understand that connecting and maintaining a
healthy relationship with a donor goes the extra mile to invoke trust in the
cause or event. However, when it comes to the use of emails, there should be
professional templates used. These email templates will help participants seek
donations for the cause in a professional manner. So, here again, you need to
take the onus to educate participants on their choice of email templates. In
this way, you can create positive impressions on the mind of donors. Again, the
email should have a link to their personal web page so that donors can read
their personal stories and feel inspired to help.
Last but not
least, the experts here at American Fundraising Foundation suggest
participants should encourage social sharing among their networks to spread
education about the cause. They can share their personal web pages on social
media platforms. They can share pictures and videos of the cause or event to
spread awareness and educate the public. In this way, first time fundraising
participants to any social or community cause can be guided effectively. Over
time, they master these online tools and become an
integral part of the campaign when it comes to successfully raising funds for
the cause!
