The Best Valentine’s Day Gift You Could Give


As an organization with such a high calling, the American Heart Association has benefitted from many independent contributors that focus on fundraising for nonprofit organizations. Voluntary fundraising for non profits is an important part of any cause that plans to have any sort of longevity. Getting the message of proper heart health could be one of the most important pieces of information you could pass along to your community to greatly improve their chances of taking on any cardiovascular problems in the future. In fact, a community-wide program spanning 4 decades designed to improve cardiovascular health among residents of a rural, low-income county in Maine did just that, reducing hospitalizations and deaths from heart attack and stroke, researchers reported.

The key to a healthy community and a Healthier You


Alongside the health of your own family habits, it’s also important to consider the health of those within your surrounding communities that may need a helping hand. Many communities are underserved as the availability to healthier choices are virtually non-existent. There are many outlets in your local community, like Feeding America, that work hard to make sure the underserved are given equal healthy options to choose from. Such organizations rely on non profit fundraisers to fund its efforts year-round. Participating in a non profit fundraiser is easier than you think. If you’re unable to give money, many organizations are open to volunteers and mentors. They also welcome creative fundraising ideas for non profits.

Holding a charity auction can boost you immune system?


So what are some of the ways to express gratitude? There are really too many to name, but something as simple as a sincere phone call or email is enough to boost your day and the person’s you’re reaching out to. Those are two small individual ways, but if you’re looking to step up your “gratitude game,” a great idea to consider is doing a charity auction for an organization that has benefited you in the past.

Let Ford Motor Company’s charity auction inspire you in yours!


Being that Ford has made such a strong, charitable start to the year, don’t let that be a discouragement to you, let it be an inspiration! When it comes to charity auction ideas, any amount raised helps. Just because Ford will be raising a hefty sum for JDRF, doesn’t mean you can’t lead a charity successful auction. When starting the process to find a charity to give to, be sure you do your research and make sure the money is actually getting to the intended target. There are many scams to look out for, so keep both eyes open and don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you need to feel confident in the charity. Any charity worth its salt will be willing to give out any information that you need. In fact, most will have a financial breakdown on it’s website.

Fundraising for nonprofit organizations it’s all about Connection


We’ve all heard the saying, “Location! Location! Location!” right? It usually applies to a brick and mortar business model that’s trying to lure customers through an easily accessible door that’s preferably in a good neighborhood. Well that’s all fine and good for Big Al’s Tire Emporium and Wonderland, but what if you’re not trying to sell Tires or whatever else Big Al is pushing? What if you’re in the “business” of fundraising for non profits? What then? What great marketing sayings and solutions have you got in your hip pocket? Well according to BigduckNYC dot com, when it comes to fundraising for nonprofit organizations, the mantra needs to be, “Connection! Connection! Connection!.” More than anything else, non-profits live and die on donor retention. Although they might receive a nice coffee mug or gift certificate to a local eatery upon engaging with your cause, the truth is, is that they are giving more than they’re taking.

How to do fundraising for nonprofits? Just ask NPR!


Since airing it’s first broadcast in April of 1970, NPR has grown to serve as a national syndicator to a network of 900 public radio stations across the US. Although NPR receives some public monies, 4.6 percent of it’s annual budget, they lead the nation in fundraising for nonprofits through memberships and private donations. So the next question is, “How do they do it?” Simple, they ask for it. According to it’s website NPR garners nearly 39 percent of its annual budget through pledge drives. The rest is gained by colleges, universities, private givers and a few other sources, but the bulk of the money is raised by just plain asking. There’s a great lesson to be learned by watching how they do things. Sure, they have a lot of value built in with radio shows and production, but above that NPR is just selling and reminding people why they should care about their cause.

Fundraising for Nonprofits Effectively: Engaging Donors


Patti Gorsky from the Wisconsin Make-A-Wish foundation says, “We have over 500 kids who will be diagnosed with a life threatening medical condition this year and we’ll be granting and working to grant all of those wishes, so we need so many caring individuals and companies like Macy’s to make those wishes come true.” When it comes to fundraising for nonprofits effectively, don’t associate success with grandeur. Although a large-scale event is sure to get people excited, don’t forget that even the simplest ideas can make a lasting impact as long as your fundraiser has a high engagement rate.

Two Healthy Fundraising Ideas for Medical Nonprofits


American Heart Association recommends eating eight or more fruit and vegetable servings a day; for an average adult consuming 2,000 calories daily, that means about 4 ½ cups per day. Americans typically consume about half of those recommended daily servings, according to the association. More than 80 percent of risk factors for heart disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of death in the United States, are preventable through dieting, regular exercise, and not smoking.

Nonprofit Online Fundraising that Music Fans Rave About


Packed with prized celebrity memorabilia and exclusive passes to highly anticipated occasions, this event was obviously aiming to have thousands of fans involved. The causes behind major online fundraising for nonprofits like these are certainly huge and significant, too. Specifically, the GRAMMY Foundation funds education programs, preservation initiatives, and other campaigns for the music industry across the country. For smaller-scale events like fundraising for your school or for the local animal shelter, you can organize more manageable events. How about a concert in the community rec center featuring regional bands? Perhaps you can put together an online yard sale and ask for donations like used musical instruments or even autographed items. These efforts would be easier to fulfill and still yield the turnout or proceeds you need.

Getting Celebrities to Help Your Non-profit Fundraiser


For instance, the Whitehorsenews reports that a supporter of a hospital’s intensive care unit for ill and premature babies had a guitar signed by esteemed musicians like Chris Martin and Ed Sheeran. The acoustic guitar was part of a two tier auction, with the first part being a silent auction via email and Facebook. The winning bid from that activity will be the reserve for the guitar on eBay, which ran over 10 days at the end of November last year. Items like that are likely to get the highest possible bids. After all, die-hard music fans won’t pass up the chance of owning a guitar signed by such famous musicians. Indeed, celebrities boast of a certain power to bring people’s attention to a good cause.

Charity Fundraising Ideas: Peer-to-peer Fundraiser Tips


"Appealing non profit fundraisers that involve tempting your donors’ taste buds are also great ways to get people to donate to your cause. The key to this P2P fundraising model is to get at least a handful of supporters to commit. Once their friends see them sign up, the promise of a scrumptious meal and great company will compel them to give. You might also try to get local restaurants or grocery stores to donate their excess produce and ingredients to help reduce your overall costs. Still not convinced that P2P fundraising is a good match for your nonprofit? Our platform, eBay Giving Works, provides a ton of useful non profit fundraiser ideas that your organization could benefit from. For example, you can ask donors to donate directly to your organization or else bid for rare or useful items through a silent online auction. Your nonprofit can take home 100% of the proceeds as we charge no listing fee of any kind. "
