  • 1.  Help! Need some fundraising ideas!

    Posted 04-17-2023 07:14 AM

    This is our 10th anniversary as a rescue, and I'd LOVE to do an online fundraiser to raise $10K before the end of the year. I'm having problems coming up with ideas though! Help!

    Christy, could you possibly find a $5k match donor and then ask your followers supporters to donate like $10? You'd need 500 people to donate $10 over the course of the year! Good luck and congrats!!

    I have found people like to give to something specific. So what if you created some different thresholds based on the cost of different services. For example:
    $10 pays for a first round of puppy vaccines
    $25 pays for a foster kitten care package
    $50 pays for a wellness package for a pet in need
    $100 pays for two community cat spay/neuters

    Something like that, where it is almost a shopping list of things so people can really understand where their money is going.

    Congrats! One small caveat: we tend to be much more excited about anniversaries than our supporters. I think you have already received excellent suggestions (find a matching donor, give specific examples), and this will help shift the focus from celebrating yourself to celebrating all that you've accomplished together in the community over these ten years!
