Crowdfunding Tips
Crowdfunding Tips
Be Specific
1
Fundraisers do better when they are tied to
a specific campaign, initiative,
or project.
Be Savvy
2
Use all of the tools at your disposal. Pages with high quality images/
video are 2x likely to reach their goal.
Be Encouraging
3
Make your best donors and partners feel
special. They’re your best channel to quick growth.
Be Connected
4
Use your donor data to stay in
touch with your network during and
after your fundraiser.
Be Creative
5
Don’t get stuck doing the same old things. New ideas (Twitter, YouTube,
live events) can reach new donors.
