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! 76°18'0"W 40°1'15"N 40°1'30"N acilities JDRF Event Space AI I * PAVILION #2 CK A I PARK OFFICE A I R O CK O R R A W B TR E IV D tI * ® R FO R SWIMMING POOL GARDEN OF FIVE SENSES ER A I AD A I A I ST R AW BER RY ST RE ET R EET EAKE ST ( ! * I PAVILION #3 RANGER OFFICE PAVILION #1 RO CK FFO R D RO A D RO RO AD D A I RD FO NT Z A I PICNIC AREA KING L E T TR A I L L CVA TR A IL PO E R CH ESAP N R E ( !
