Crowdfunding
When it comes to raising funds, there is nothing quite like crowdfunding for effectiveness. Even if every person that contributes only gives a small amount, you would be astounded how quickly crowdfunding can rack up an enormous amount for charity. So, how can you best engage with crowdfunding? Streaming For Charity. The best thing you can do to get a good crowdfunding journey going is to build up as much of an audience as you possibly can. Fortunately, the internet is built for building audiences. One great way to start doing this is through streaming. A charity stream is sure to garner a healthy amount of attention, even if you struggle to get viewers otherwise. Charity Challenges. Once you have the attention of a large group of people, the next thing you need to do is figure out how to best get them to start giving to charity. A great way to get the ball rolling is to establish challenges for you based on charitable giving. These challenges are sure to make the streaming experience more entertaining, and people are always more inclined to give when they believe they are getting something in return. There are plenty of challenges you could establish as well, such as playing blindfolded, reversing controls, and not using certain powers or items.
Raising Awareness
Another way you could go about raising more funds is by raising awareness for your campaign and the issues it is addressing. People are fundamentally self-concerned, it is a trait that helped us to survive for centuries before the advent of a self-sufficient society, and it means that in general, we don’t think about the suffering of others unless we are prompted to. So, give people a reason to think about how they could help, and they are sure to become motivated to do what they can for who they can. Multi-Media Marketing Campaigns. Technology is your friend when it comes to raising this kind of awareness; whether you are making use of social media marketing or text message donations for nonprofits, technology links the world together in a way that has never been seen before. This connectivity is sure to help you raise quick and easy awareness, so make use of it as much as you can. Performance Art. Another great way to bring awareness of these issues to the forefront of people’s minds is to do something they can’t avoid seeing. This means that performance art and other visual media are also a brilliant way to get people thinking about charity and how they could help out.
