Non-profit organizations always want to raise more money. More money means they can do more for their cause. So whenever we work with non-profits, whether helping them structure their board or plan their fundraising for the year, we always give them a little bonus by giving them three tips to raise more money at their next fundraising event. These tips can help you raise an extra $10,000 - 25,000 with minimal additional effort and can be used at a fundraising event as early as next week.
Every nonprofit has at least an extra $20,000 sitting in their board members’ phones that they aren’t accessing. We’ve talked in the past about how the most valuable thing your board members bring to the table is their connections. However, we haven’t yet discussed how you can use these connections to create unique fundraising opportunities through opportunistic fundraising.
As a non-profit organization, you likely have a mission statement that describes your purpose and goals. But have you tried to summarize and simplify your mission statement? Having a mission statement intro that is 10 words or less can be a powerful tool for communicating your message and inspiring action from donors, volunteers, and other stakeholders.
Here are some reasons why having a concise mission statement intro is vital for non-profits: If we could give every single non-profit preparing for a fundraising event one piece of advice, it would be this: Don’t underestimate your silent auction. Something we see a lot of non-profits do is treat their silent auction like an afterthought or a bargain bin for donated items that don’t fit into their live auction. They’re leaving a whole lot of money on the table. With the right strategy, silent auctions can earn just as much or ever more than your live auction.
We work with non-profits to help them raise more money for their cause, and here are the 5 easy-to-implement strategies that will turn your silent auction into a major revenue generator. Jason Ledlow, Trevor Nelson, and Amy Meyers sat down at the end of 2022 to answer your questions about non-profit fundraising. They discussed working with a board, nurturing donor relationships, and how to maximize revenue from galas.
