Fundraising Ideas
Text Giving and Digital Fundraising
We’re quoting the wonderful Howard Lake on this one, “Your digital presence is your presence“. Right now your social media presence and website are your main channels from which to engage with your community. If digital fundraising isn’t normally part of your strategy and you’re feeling overwhelmed, start with what you know. Ask yourself how you can you turn your ‘normal’ fundraising activities into virtual ones.
The Virtual Bucket Collection
Assemble your virtual volunteers and online community with a digital bucket collection. Download our free Canva template and customise it. If you think that editing social media graphics is way out of your skillset, don’t worry!
Sam will show you exactly how to do it here 👇
You can then share it with your supporters as part of an email campaign, social media post or even a Live stream (if you’re looking for inspiration take a look at Hannah Taylor’s Facebook Live stream for Marie Curie here)!
