Are you planning for fundraising for your non-profit organization? It is not an easy task. When you secure grants, it can go a long way keeping the things moving. Raising the money from the public is you plan to continue doing the good work. Here are some ideas that can be helpful for you.

Doing Charity Auctions

It is undoubtedly one of the most successful ways you can raise funds. In a charity auction, things go for more value than their face value. Most of the attendees understand where their money is going and that’s why they are willing to pay more. Many businesses will donate their products just to be a part of the program and also their name being displayed abundantly. If you get in touch with nearby companies, you can get more than enough items.

Email Campaign

While you might be reaching out to people throughout the year and sending them the mails but you can’t overlook the importance of one-day blitz. Pick a day that may be important for the organization and get in touch with those people who have been regularly donating for you. They are the people that are likely to make donations again. You can send out a series of mails that tell emotional stories and create a sense of urgency. It is a low-cost strategy that doesn’t require setting up huge events.

Product Sale

If you are planning a fund raising event, choose a product that sells easily. On such products is laundry detergent. When the event is attended by the families, and they come across a product that is useful for the entire family, they are more likely to buy it.

Large Detergent Pack

A 5-gallon laundry detergent fundraiser is a pack that is useful for the entire family, and if it is available for less than market prices of the other branded products, it is certainly going to fetch good funds for you.

Avoid This

One common mistake that is made is trying to offer the products that don’t move fast, or that doesn’t mean the purpose of the family. Such products, no matter how they are priced, are bound to give you disappointment.

Get Personal

Bear in mind; a personal hand-written letter has a stronger appeal than an electronic mail even today. So do try to touch the heart of your donors and you’ll surely get the desired funds through many ways.
