Fundraising Incentives! All teammates who raise $3,000 by November 30 will receive our first fundraising milestone!! Incentives will be announced soon!
Fundraising Tip of the Week
Are you familiar with #GivingTuesday? This year it’s on Tuesday, December 3, and it’s an extraordinary opportunity for donors to support their favorite charities. We’ll be encouraging you to do a BIG fundraising push via your TeamRaiser page, and fun prizes will be awarded! Start the planning process by building a list of potential supporters – the donor tracking excel is a great tool from the portal! Think through how you will ask for their support (i.e., email, phone call, written letter, social media, or a combination), and populate their contact information into the spreadsheet.
