What to Consider BEFORE Strategizing:
25
Past accomplishments Capabilities & background of staff Level of awareness and trust within your community
A strong sense of your organization’s identity, purpose, & action plan
Evaluation of your present and potential network
Developing Your Strategy PLAN! Online Fundraising doesn’t just happen. Set realistic goals and quarterly benchmarks Create an annual calendar with promotions & campaigns Create a communications plan Identify accountable staff and advocates
Setting SMART Campaign Goals Set realistic goals
• Get 50 additional Facebook likes by a certain date • Get 3 additional donors by next month • Send out a monthly newsletter
• Create 2 Facebook posts a week Importance of campaigns
• Creates a sense of urgency • Focused on awareness, new ideas, impact, & funding • Helps prevent donor fatigue
27
Create a sense of urgencyThe last 3 months of the year
accounted for more than 1/3 of 2013’s overall giving!
Online giving in December is
more than 18.8% of total year’s giving.

Telling your story…

Brevity is key. Put the important things FIRST! Make it about the cause Make it so your audience can identify with it Evoke empathy, not sympathy
Use powerful and hopeful visual imagery A picture is worth a thousand words!
Be specific on how a donation will make an impact

Effective Outreach Know your audiences Personalize and tailor communication & emails Sort lists of donors by demographics,
interest level, region, past donations or reasons for giving Do not spam. Always include an opt out link in every email Make donors feel like a crucial part of your organization and
an integral part of its success Give donors a clear idea of what money is being used for

No Shortcuts to Donor Loyalty & Engagement Organizations are not entitled to donor loyalty and trust, they must initially earn it and maintain it
Focus on building long lasting relationships Ask donors questions, keep them connected & informed Listen to beneficiaries, donors, and all players involved
