5 TIPS FOR FUNDRAISING SUCCESS!
1. CREATE A TEAM!
Be the first to donate and then ask others to join you! Lead by example and inspire others by making the first donation yourself! Fundraisers who make a self-donation are proven to raise more than those who don’t.
2. SING YOUR SONG!
Personalize your ask and share why is Dyslexia Awareness so important to you? Do you have a child who needs tutoring services beyond his/her school? Do you wish the schools could better serve children with dyslexia? Do you have a parent or sibling whose life has been challenging due to dyslexia and you want to make things better for future learners? Are you an educator whose eyes have been opened about Dyslexia and now you want to add more tools to your toolbox to better serve all learners?
3. INCLUDE EVERYONE IN YOUR ASK!
Share with everyone in your circle of family, friends, and community! Don’t feel guilty about asking. You will find that people will be happy to support a cause that is so meaningful to you and your family! Ask your friends and family, neighbors, and colleagues! Literally, everyone!
4. SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
Share news of your fundraising team on social media! Our website has an automatic link to your social media account on the main page (below the date). This makes donating easier for your supporters!
5. INQUIRE ABOUT MATCHING GIFTS!
Many companies have matching gift programs that will match all or part of their employees’ donations to charitable organizations. After checking with your own employer, ask your donors to do the same and check with their Human Resources department to find out if their employer will match.
