How to Raise
Money?
Define a Goal
Start
by defining how much money you’re required to raise, not just for yourself but
for your potential donors. People are more likely to give money for a clear
cause.
Choosing a
Reliable Online Fundraising Platform
While
picking a platform you should look for:
- Fees (platform and payment processing)
- Fundraising sharing capabilities
- Customer support
- When you get access to funds
- Ease of use
- Website design
We're
a little biased, but when it comes to crowdfunding platforms, Adam Welfare is
the best choice to go with. Unlike other platforms, we don't have a payment
fee, and you can start withdrawing funds as you start receiving donations.
Tell Your Story
While
writing your story try to answer the primary questions any reader would have
like:
- Who
- Where
- When
- What
- Why
- How
How
are you linked to the cause? How will the donations raise aid you or others?
What will be the funds used for? Whether its medical fundraising or volunteer fundraising, the ‘why’ the reason is important to know.
Once
you completed the story, come up with a strong and captivating title. It will
help you define your story in a single phrase.
Create a
Strategy for Sharing
After
posting your fundraiser, get back on it from trusted friends and family
members. Use any good suggestions to improve your story, images, etc. Then ask
your close people for donations. Why? If potential donors see that some funds
have already been raised, people are more likely to donate.
Share with
Social Media
Social
media is a powerful tool to spread your message among people. The more
prominent your fundraiser is, the more donations you will receive. If you
create a Facebook page for your fundraiser, consider paying to boost posts.
Share without
Social Media
As
we know that social media is a great way to connect potential donors with your
fundraiser, there are other ways to share such as newspaper, flyers, broachers,
and many more.
Show Your
Donor’s Appreciation
When
people make a donation, take it as an initiative of a good cause, not an end.
When seen this way, the thank-you is clearly the foundation of an ongoing
relationship with a donor, a kind of gateway to the remaining part of the story.
