WELCOME TO YOUR TOOL KIT.

Thank you for joining our #GiveBIG campaign. This giving season we are challenging our supporters to raise $5,000 between Nov 23rd-Nov 30th. We have created this tool kit to make it as easy as possible for you to help us reach our goal. Consider it your road map to success. It is flexible and customizable, so you can fundraise wherever and however you feel most comfortable

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

  • Make a list. Sit down and put together a list of your potential donors. Friends, family, co-workers, classmates, workout buddies, etc... don't be afraid to get creative. Think about the best way to contact each of your donors. Maybe it's email, social media, text or a zoom call. Oftentimes, using a multichannel approach to meet your donors where they are can be the most effective strategy.
  • Take advantage of holiday gatherings. Tell your friends and family how they can support your campaign, and why it's important to you.
  • Make it personal. Whenever possible, share your own stories of your experience with BBBS. Your people will give because it's YOU asking them to support something that matters to you.
  • Don't be afraid to follow up. We have all seen something we were interested in supporting but needed to be nudged again to take the next step. Just because your friends and family didn't respond to the first point of contact does not mean they are not interested in helping you reach your goals.
