A Few Tips For Effective Fundraising
We've put together a few tips to help make your fundraising a success:
Make it personal
The most effective fundraisers use their personalities and stories to connect with people. Your relationships are compelling enough reasons for your friends, family, peers, and co-workers to support your cause
Emphasize "Gift cards that give back"
By supporting your school, your friends and family will receive a e-gift card they can redeem at any Indigo, Chapters, or Coles stores across Canada and online at chapters.indigo.ca and kobo.com. Remember, you’re giving them something valuable in exchange for their support
Ask for help
Don’t be afraid to ask friends, family members and co-workers to share your Adopt a School message with their networks. Give them your personal fundraising link to share with others; this is the best way to draw as many people as possible to support your school
Show your appreciation
Always thank your supporters! They love feeling appreciated and will be motivated to reach out to their networks
Be creative
There a lots of fun ways to capture attention to your campaign. Chat with people at your local coffee shop or send out some funny pictures of yourself reading a book. Think outside the box!
