Last Minute Fundraising Success

People tend to put things off, its just part of human nature.  When you are just a few weeks away from your deadline and you are falling short of your fundraising goal is it time to panic?

As we countdown the days, here are a few last minute tips to help you with that final fundraising push.

Contact your contacts again.

We always see a spike in donations the last weeks before a deadline, so don’t be afraid to send your page out to your contacts again.

People don’t always donate straight away. You might have emailed them when they were busy, at the wrong end of pay day or they could have just innocently forgotten. Also, even if they’ve already sponsored you, they’ll still be interested to hear how you’re doing.

Give your colleagues a reason to donate again by organizing a pool. For a small, set donation, they get to guess your total fundraising amount. The person with the closest dollar value wins the pool.

But if the thought of everyone betting on your fundraising adds a little too much extra pressure, have a different kind of sweepstake. How about asking them to guess how many sweets are in a jar? Wash out an old jam jar, buy a few bags of sweets and not only have you got a reason to ask people for more donations, you have a sugary prize as an extra incentive.

At what seems like the last minute you can always consider calling Sunset Coupons 800-627-6340 to see if we can help you meet your fundraising goal.
