Raising money for your cause

Being in the fundraising business – for profit and non-profit alike – for years now, I believe the best way to raise money for your cause using social media is to first and foremost know your audience.

Who are they, what do they want to read/learn more about, what resonates with them, what will motivate them to act? Examine the personas of your donors first and reach them where they are, using the methods that they prefer. Stop thinking about where you want them to be and what you want to say to them. Think about where they are online and what they want to hear from you.

How do you gain attention for your Non Profit

This is clearly a question every non-profit Executive Director thinks about every day as funds  for non-profits have been steadily declining for the last 2 years given the harsh economic realities we’re all still going through.

So these are a few tips I thought I would share with you all.

Whether you are an NPO or not, an integral part of any good marketing plan is defining your goals. When you know what it is you want to achieve, creating distinct marketing campaigns and tactics become much more clear.

The goals of non-profit organizations can be as diverse as the myriad of organizations  the mselves. There are, however, a few major goals across the board.
