Top 10 tips for GivingTuesday
The countdown is on: there are seven weeks to go before GivingTuesday, which this year falls on December 3. Whatever your organisation is planning to mark the day, the path to fundraising success is clear. Here are our top 10 tips for bringing in money, volunteers, donations of goods or new advocates for your cause on any day of the year – including GivingTuesday.
1. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. Tattoo this on the back of your hand, and remind yourself often. 2. People don’t give to causes, people give to people. People give when someone they like and trust asks them to give. So ask, and ask your supporters to ask for you. For more on this, see page 18.
