TIPS FOR RUNNING YOUR FIRST FUNDRAISER When you are passionate about a worthy cause and looking to make a difference, then running a fundraiser can feel like the perfect solution. Luckily, there are a few tips that you can keep in mind to ensure your fundraiser runs smoothly and is a success.

SET A FUNDRAISING GOAL Your first step in planning your fundraiser is by setting your fundraising goals. Determine how much money needs to be raised or if you want to focus more on driving awareness to make a greater impact. Keeping these potential goals in mind will help plan the fundraiser more efficiently.

FIND A TARGET AUDIENCE The best way to run a successful fundraising event is to connect with an audience that is just as passionate about the cause as you are. It’s important to find your target audience to make the most out of the fundraiser. Take time to think about who your fundraiser would appeal to and who would most likely want to be involved

SOFT LAUNCH A great way to test the waters for your fundraiser is by doing a soft launch. A soft launch can be done by gathering a smaller group of dedicated supporters to build campaign momentum before the official launch to the public. This can help you find donors and raise money before the official launch.

UTILIZE SOCIAL MEDIA This activity has a myriad of health benefits, such as preventing obesity, protecting yourself from the risk of cardiovascular disease, and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
