This is the third and final installment in a series of posts about fund-raising.
In the first two posts, we covered online and email fund-raising activity.
Of course, not everyone uses email and social media, so you’ll want to consider other fund-raising ideas that aren’t digital, such as snail mail letters and cards, in-person conversations and events like bake sales or dinner parties, etc. If you do something fun like a fund-raising dinner party, you want to be sure to promote it in your online and email efforts too.
The idea is to use all your social networks, whether online or in “real life,” to tell your Gilda’s Gang story and ask for support.
Every time you tell the story, you raise awareness of Gilda’s Club and the need for emotional and psychosocial support for cancer survivors, family and friends. That’s an important goal, too.
And even if someone can’t support you with a donation, they can support you by spreading the word through their own networks. Don’t be afraid to ask them to pass the message along.
So … what are you finding is working in your fund-raising? Tips to share that I’ve missed? Please share them in the comments below.
