Creating an effective non-profit campaign
If you’re a non-profit looking for new and exciting ways to connect with the community and effectively raise funds, getting all the help possible can make all the difference. With more causes striving to reach their audience than ever, it’s important to make your fundraising as effective as possible. Here are just a few of our top tips and ideas to make your campaign work for you:
Make it personal
Your potential donors are more likely to connect with a cause that’s about people directly. Whether that means offering case studies or focusing your campaign on a specific school or classroom, Classful has the perfect setup to help your donors connect with the great work you do. You can provide a personal overview of what you’re fundraising for and offer regular updates and social sharing to keep existing donors in the loop.
Make a reachable goal
Donors may be turned off from fundraisers with lofty goals where $10 here or there won’t make an impact. But by starting small and building up, you can help your donors see how they make an impact. Classful allows you to create specific goals for fundraising, giving a visual indicator of how well a campaign is doing and how much their donations help to further your work.
Go branded
If you’re a branded and established non-profit, your looks and professional feel can help make you stand out amongst other campaigns. You can establish trust and build a cohesive image across multiple campaigns as needed to show just how much good your business does. Shout about what you do, and you’re far more likely to get great results.
Fundraising on behalf of non-profits
Many educational facilities and schools already have dedicated causes, charities, and missions they raise funds. Classful helps to support individual fundraising campaigns through an online, easy-to-use portal. By making it easier for parents and the local community to support a specific fund, schools can raise more money and do better for the causes they believe in.
Classful works just as well, whether you’re raising funds for charities acting abroad or directly benefiting the schools and education system. Whether your school benefits from the funds raised or you’re passing those donations on to support conservation, education, or healthcare worldwide, Classful’s foundations make getting contributions more accessible than ever. Supporting great charities is effortless with our unique fundraising platform.
Ideas for non-profit fundraising
Want to build a successful fundraising campaign for education? If you aren’t sure where to start, Classful has you covered. We’re the experts regarding what works and what doesn’t for online fundraising. If you want to benefit children and provide them with better, more fulfilling education, here are some of the approaches you could take:
Funding new educational spaces
With STEM and STEAM now considered a vital part of student’s curriculum, it’s more important than ever to have dedicated educational spaces to support learning. Non-profits can use campaigns to specifically fund the building or conversion of space into one for educational purposes. Whether for mainstream education or to help students with learning difficulties, these worthwhile campaigns benefit from delivering real-world results that donors can see. Funding new educational spaces have a clear budget, and it’s possible to know where every cent goes in providing students with a better learning experience.
Technology drives low-budget schools
Many schools across the US don’t have the funding and means to meet technology requirements. This is more the case than ever before with the introduction of blended and remote learning. Upgrading technology can be a high cost, but it’s the ideal choice for long fundraising campaigns, with individual purchase goals for iPads, interactive screens, and other technologies, every bit of funding to make students’ lives better without a stopping point in sight.
Health and well-being support for students
Many students need support beyond traditional teaching and education. Whether a challenging home life or struggling with the pressure and stress of learning, fundraising to provide well-being-focused resources can have a significant positive impact. Whether it’s providing counseling, supporting wellness events, or offering students resources to reduce stress and improve their education, sometimes it’s the things around learning that can make the most significant difference in children’s lives.
Supporting low-income families
Many children miss out on educational opportunities due to their low-income status. Fundraising to support students that require financial support is an excellent way to utilize a platform like Classful to its full potential. As a growing and evolving fund, you can support students in many ways – whether purchasing laptops and tablets to loan out or providing scholarships for tutoring, school trips, and more.
