We know that raising money, even if it’s for a good cause, can be difficult. This is why the Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont Foundation is providing tips and sample documents to help you start, promote, and complete your fundraising.
Are you on several social media platforms? Be strategic!
Each platform will help you canvas different potential donors. For example:
Facebook for your friends and family
LinkedIn for your professional network
Don’t forget to tag the HMR Foundation. It will be a pleasure to share your content.
Post to say thank you
Your social media can help you do more than just canvassing.
Use it to thank your donors! Thank them by naming them in your posts.
If you’re not comfortable doing this, consider thanking them in person, over the phone, by sending a private message, a text, or an email.
Did you receive a donation from a business? Thank the company by naming it in your social media posts!
It is a great way to give the business some free visibility.
It’s your birthday? Make the most of it!
Will you be celebrating your birthday between now and the Challenge? If so, you are extremely fortunate!
Take this opportunity to ask your family, friends, and colleagues to support your fundraising efforts in lieu of a gift.
Who would refuse to make you happy on your birthday?
Use your social media to post a message making the connection between your birthday and your fundraising campaign! You will reach even more potential donors.
