Tips for Online Fundraisers
Creating a fundraising page is just the first step! The next step: Ask everyone you know to donate to your page.
Here are some tips on how to “Spread the Word”:
Send emails through your usual email account:
Email everyone in your address book. In your email, tell people why you’re fundraising.
Include the URL of your fundraising page in your email. When people receive your email, they’ll click the link, see your page, and donate.
Not sure what to say? Use our sample email for ideas!
Share on social media:
To share your fundraising page on social media:
- View your fundraising page.
- On the left, you’ll see icons for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Click these icons to share your page.
Add a signature to all of your emails:
In your outgoing emails, under your name, add a “signature” line asking for donations. Example: “I’m raising funds for breast and ovarian cancer support – please donate!” Include the URL to your fundraising page.
Now, every time you send an email for any reason, the recipient will see your message. One fundraiser exceeded her goal with this simple step!
Frequently Asked Questions
I started a fundraising page but now I can’t find it.
Login in to your Network For Good account here. Once you’re logged in, click “My Account” at the top of the page. Your fundraising page will be displayed in your account.
Or, you can go to our 2023 Walk fundraising home page then scroll down to the bottom to view all the people raising funds for our Walk. Names will be listed alphabetically.
I don’t know what a “URL” is.
The URL is the address at the top of your fundraising page. (It starts with https://supportconnection.networkforgood.com/projects…) Include this URL in your emails. When the recipient clicks on it, your page will open up for them.
What can I do to increase my contribution?
Take advantage of Matching Gifts. Many companies will match contributions made by their employees. This can double or even triple your donation! Ask your employer if they have a Matching Gift program. Support Connection is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit. Our EIN/tax ID number is 13-3900612.
