?? Bi-Weekly Insights on Digital Fundraising

At Eternal Sparks Consulting, we’ve spent the last nine weeks helping non-profits harness the power of fundraising. ??? This week, we’re wrapping up our final workshop of the series, Mastering Digital Fundraising. We focused on how online tools and platforms can help increase donations and build meaningful relationships with donors.

Why Digital Fundraising Matters

In today’s world, digital fundraising has become essential. It allows non-profits to connect with a wider audience and raise funds more efficiently. From social media to email campaigns and crowdfunding platforms, digital strategies have opened doors for non-profits of all sizes. ????

Key Takeaways from the Workshop

We covered several important tools and strategies to help boost your digital fundraising efforts:

• Online Donation Platforms: Using platforms like GoFundMe, JustGiving, and PayPal Giving Fund makes it easier for people to give. An optimized donation page on your website is key for smooth transactions.
• Social Media Fundraising: Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok offer great tools for fundraising and reaching new donors. Features like Facebook Fundraisers and Instagram Donation Stickers help increase your visibility.
• Email Campaigns: Creating targeted email lists and writing compelling emails can drive donations. Segmenting your audience helps deliver more relevant and effective communication.

Using Ads and Text-to-Give

We also looked at the impact of ads and SMS campaigns:

• Google Ads & Meta Ads: Google Ad Grants give non-profits up to $10,000 a month in free ads. Facebook and Instagram ads help target specific donor groups and expand your reach.
• Text-to-Give Campaigns: SMS fundraising makes it easy for supporters to donate in just a few clicks, offering a simple and effective way to engage your donors.

Maximizing Engagement with Virtual Events

Virtual events, from online auctions to livestreams, provide a unique way to connect with your audience no matter where they are. We also explored how recurring giving programs ensure consistent support, making your fundraising more sustainable. ????
