This week's nonprofit fundraising Best Practice in Action
Today we bring you another nonprofit fundraising Best Practice in Action from our weekly email series. Each week, we’ll highlight an organization that has done an incredible job of promoting its online fundraising efforts with FirstGiving and show you how to do the same. This week’s Best Practice is. . .
Show your fundraisers how easy it is to create a fundraising page.
Our friends at the Front Row Foundation give athlete fundraisers across the United States the opportunity to raise money online year-round as they run 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon distances. The Front Row Foundation wanted to make it as easy as possible for their fans to create fundraising pages, so they made a short “How to set up your fundraising page” video. The video is posted to the event page on their website and their Facebook fan page:
By creating this tutorial and posting it where their supporters can find it easily, the Front Row Foundation has put fundraising tools in the hands of their supporters and made the fundraising process accessible to their community all over the country.
So, to recap: Your fundraisers will really surprise you when you equip them and empower them. Show them how easy it is to create a fundraising page to get them started on the road to success.
Happy fundraising!
