Run4NF Fundraising Tips

_KJD5946C.jpg

  • Start fundraising early!
  • List your contacts, family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, local businesses, professional colleagues, etc.
  • Have a timeline for your fundraising activities to prevent last minute fundraising.
  • Create a fundraising page at FirstGiving.com
  • Create a fundraising message/lettter.

    Effective letters include:

    • Introduction (purpose for your letter, your personal connection)
    • Request (share the fundraising goal, how to donate)
    • Where the money raised goes (provide information regarding NF and NF, Inc.)
    • Closing (thank you, your contact information)
  • Send the fundraising email message and/or letter with a link to the FirstGiving webpage.
  • Explore obtaining corporate sponsors since many businesses have a budget set-up for charity.
  • Explore obtaining corporate matches since may businesses will match funds raised or donated by their employees.
  • Consider publicizing your Run4NF race and fundraising website in your local newspapers.
  • Send a reminder email a few weeks prior to the event to promt more donors to contribute.
  • Send a post event thank you letter to donors and sponsors, including the outcome of the race, amount raised, etc. Adding a picture of you/your team or a race anecdote is also a nice touch and personalizes your letter.

Thank you and good luck in your fundraising efforts!

We never know how far reaching something we may think, say or do today will affect the lives of others tomorrow.
