The status widget updates as donations are made to your project and is hyperlinked to your projectpage. 3

  4. Create: Fundraisers • Direct supporters to click the Fundraisebutton on the right hand side of your organization’s page. • Fundraisers are customizable pages where supporters can use their own personality to raise funds on your behalf. • When individuals share why they love your nonprofit through their fundraiser, your work gains more exposure and support. 4

  5. Create: Teams • Ateampage unites multiple people who are fundraising for the same cause or event. • Overall progress is tracked and organized in one central location. • Once the Fundraise link is clicked, click Set Up a Teamand follow the prompts. 5

  6. Encourage: Asking • Personal:Send e-mails to individuals, or call them on the phone, rather than sending mass e-mails. • Relevant:Help supporters relate by telling stories about ways your nonprofit has made a difference. • Concrete:Provide examples of work your organization has done and ways that their donations will bring about future good. 6

  7. Encourage: Creativity • Associate your online fundraiser with an actual event. Have people donate to your fundraiser on a laptop, iPhone, or iPad: • host a party or happy hour • invite people into your office • start a competition • Use photos and captions to tell a story or make a video highlighting the work of your nonprofit. 7

  8. Examples of Creativity Tell a story with images and captions. Add suggested donation amounts to express the value of a donation. Connect your fundraiser with the actual work of your organization and help donors relate. 8

  9. Examples of Creativity Tell the story of a specific way your organization has made a difference. Use a matching grant to inspire generosity, generate enthusiasm, and double your donations. 9

  10. Plan: Getting Organized • Go to http://nvbiggive.org • Click on NP toolkit button • Utilize email, Facebook and Twitter templates • Use press release link • Review FAQ’s for clarification 10

  11. Plan: Pre-Giving Day • Promote the event in your newsletter & explain on your website that November 17th is Nevada’s Big Give day. • Ask for a matching grant. • Personally ask top donors, and talk about the day in regular conversation. • Update your Facebook status with a link to the Nevada landing page: NVBigGive.org. 11

  12. Plan: Pre-Giving Day • Two weeks before: • E-mail supporters to remind them about the day. • Set up your matching grant on Razoo. • One week before: • Update Facebook and Twitter on a daily basis. • Send supporters a link to your organization’s Razoo page where they can donate. 12

  13. Plan: Giving Day • Send three e-mails throughout the day to supporters. • Update them on fundraising progress. • Remind them of your overall goal. • Provide a reason for them to give again. • Promote your matching grant, $10 = $20, etc. • Utilize Facebook and Twitter. • Cheer on donors with status updates. • Ask questions to generate conversation & community. 13

  14. Plan: Giving Day • Statistics show that prime giving times for past “giving day” events have been: • Before work (6 AM – 9 AM) • Lunchtime hours • After work (6 PM – 9 PM) • Suggest that matching grants, if any, be restricted to these time periods. 14

  15. Plan: Post-Giving Day • Send thank you e-mails to donors 1-2 days after the event. • Tell them how their donation was put to good work and made a difference. • Provide updates about your nonprofit. • Make it easy for them to stay in touch. • Send physical thank you notes to top donors. • Build life-long supporters and friends of your nonprofit. 15
