Thank you for your nomination. We appreciate your support and commitment to serving our community!  We want your fundraiser to be as successful as possible. In efforts to see the greatest results, please take note and advantage of the following recommendations and tips:

1. Leverage Your Personal Networks

  • Alert your social community of the fundraiser. Make sure to include all details of the fundraiser (date, phone number, instructions on how to participate)
  • Send them an event request and a save-the-date reminder
  • Ask your social community to help spread the word for you
  • Ask your friends, family, organizations and groups to talk about it in their social communities
  • If you have connections to Media Outlets, simply communicate the who, what, when, where, how and why. Then, request for their participation to help spread the word.
  • On the day of the fundraising event, provide your networks with a friendly reminder on the who, what, where and how

2. Leverage Your Professional Networks

  • Alert your coworkers, management and HR (sometimes they can offer additional support)
  • Organize a lunch pizza party on Mondays as a group to make a big impact
  • Use the time to host company meetings and/or team building activities
  • Create a simple flyer and place on water cooler or common areas
  • On the day of the fundraising event, provide your coworkers with a friendly reminder on the who, what, where and how

3. Leverage the Nominated Organization’s Networks

  • Alert the organization’s key contact of the fundraiser details (date, phone number, instructions on how to participate)
  • Request your contact to spread the word via email, newsletter, blog, social media and word-of-mouth
  • Creating a simple graphic for social media use has performed well for past organizations
  • Facilitate a “countdown” 5 days before the fundraiser date through email and social media to increase awareness
  • On the day of the fundraising event, provide a friendly reminder on the who, what, where and how

These are a sample of things that can be done to raise awareness. Just remember that the more creative you are, the more successful your fundraiser will be. We’ll be in touch shortly with the next steps and details.

Thanks again!
