How to Ask for Donations
October 20, 2023
Asking people for money can be intimidating but more often than not your supporters want to help, they just need to be given an opportunity. These simple steps will make it easy for your fundraiser to be a success.
- Tell them what you hope to achieve and why. Explain what you are fundraising for an the difference it will make. It is as simple as saying "We are raising money to purchase uniforms for our new girls' team, so they don't have to wear last season's hand-me-downs from the boys' team."
- Ask for a donation. Tell people the difference their donation will make "A donation of $50 will provide one player with an entire new kit."
- Tell them how. You want to make it as easy as possible for people to donate, so be sure to always give them the link to your online fundraiser.
Asking has never been easier with our email and social media templates. Download them now and simply enter the details of your fundraiser.
