With an increasing number of nonprofits entering the scene, there’s a lot of competition for the limited amount of attention and resources out there. In this environment, you need to stay at the top of your game to make the most out of all the available opportunities.
Here are a few tips to help your nonprofit achieve your fundraising goals.
Mobile Giving
In this digital age, most people don’t have the time or energy to look out for a nonprofit to make a donation. Adopting mobile giving, allowing donors to give on the go, will make it really smooth and simple for them. You want to make it as easy as possible to give.
The simpler it is, the more donations you get. The donor retention rates would go up too because donors would find it easy to give again and again.
Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing is all about reach. With the various platforms and the different communication channels that it has on offer, your organization can reach tons of different audiences.
Tailor your message around whichever platform you choose. This is a low cost and high impact way of marketing yourself.
Share a great story
People associate a passion with stories more than any data you could give them. By conveying great stories about your cause, people will be more motivated to give. If you associate passionate emotions with the cause, donors who care would be more than happy to contribute.
Keep your donors in the loop
Let your donors know about the status of your fundraising efforts. Keep them in the loop with a newsletter or just by reaching out to them. Show them the link between their act of giving and the difference it’s making. This can build their trust in your nonprofit and make them a long-term supporter.
Involve your supporters and volunteers
Ask all your supporters and volunteers to share your messages on their individual social media accounts. This would help to spread your word to an even larger number of people.
Donor Management Software
Donor management software is one way to streamline your nonprofit’s fundraising efforts. It can take over a lot of things like tracking of funds, accounting, and data analytics, etc. This would leave you with more time to build relationships with your donors and focus on your campaign.
