Want to Take Your Team to the Top Ten?!
Here are some easy things you can do to kick start or pump up your team fundraising!
Send Emails
• Sending emails to request a donation is quick, easy,
and walkers who do raise on average 38% more than
those who don’t.
• Don’t be afraid to send follow up emails! Most people
will put off donating with the first email. They want to
support you, but they need a reminder.
Use Facebook and Social Media
• Fundraising with facebook is also easy and effective
• In addition to posting on your wall, Send out a
Facebook message with a link to your page where
they can donate. Many people will miss your wall post
if it doesn’t show up in their newsfeed, and a personal
message is much more effective.
Matching Gifts
DOUBLE YOUR FUNDRAISING!
• Many employers offer matching gifts programs,
where they will donate the same amount that their
employees do to that organization
• Ask you employer, and ask your donors to ask their
employers, if they have a matching gift program. It’s
usually as easy as filling out a one page request form
and sending it in! BAM! Doubled donations!
• Search for a company at www.matchinggift.com/jdrf/
JDRF Staff - Your Personal Fundraising Coaches
• For more ideas and fundraising tips, call JDRF at
(717) 901-6489. We are here to support your team
efforts and get you to your fundraising goal!
