Fundraising Tips For a Successful Fundraiser

Trying to gather funds for a meaningful cause? Achieve your fundraising targets with these helpful tips and ensure your fundtails campaign is a success.

  • Create an Engaging Fundraiser Title

    • Crafting an attention-grabbing fundraiser title is crucial because it’s often the first thing people notice.

     

    Ensure your title clearly conveys the purpose of your fundraiser, including names when applicable.
    Consider kickstarting your title with an action word like ‘help,’ ‘support,’ or ‘donate.’
    Example: “Supporting My Cat John’s Journey to Recover”

  • Provide Detailed Information in Your Fundraiser Story

    • When narrating your fundraiser story, be specific about your cause, using sincere and heartfelt language as if explaining it to a friend.

    Strive for a story that delves into details, providing potential donors with insights into why you’re fundraising. Aim for around 550 characters.

    Answer key questions like:

    • Who is the fundraiser benefiting?
    • Why is this cause meaningful to you?

  • Utilize High-Quality Photos in Your Fundraiser

    • Enhance your fundraiser page by incorporating clear, personal, and high-resolution photos that resonate with potential donors.

     

    • Opt for a prominent feature photo, steering clear of stock images if possible.
    • Include additional images or a YouTube video in the fundraiser description or updates to enrich your story.

  • Share Your Fundraiser Early and Frequently

    • Maximize your fundtails success by promptly and consistently sharing it with friends, family, and your community.

    • Commence sharing within the initial 10 hours to build momentum and trust with donors.
    • Our findings indicate that sharing your fundtails 6-10 times in the first three days doubles the likelihood of reaching your fundraising goal.

    For instance, by searching relevant keywords on Twitter, reaching out to pages on Instagram and TikTok that focus on pets or charitable causes, you can kindly ask them to share your fundraiser. This may help you reach a more engaged audience.
