FUNDRAISING STRATEGIES
GLOBAL VILLAGE FUNDRAISING GUIDE
Fundraising strategies:
how to ask
ere are many ways to v. Here are the common activities — but certainly not the
only ones — that people use to do trip-based fundraising:
Online giving (page 15)
Giving through Facebook or via email is more popular than ever. Our new web
platform, Share.Habitat, allows you to set a fundraising goal, track your progress
and send out email appeal letters to your online network with the click of a button.
Snail mail appeal letter (page 15)
Some of our most successful fundraisers do it the old-fashioned way — they write
an appeal letter, print it, sign it, mail it to their friends and family, and include a
self-addressed, stamped return envelope so people can easily respond.
In person/phone (page 16)
Asking for a larger gi should be done in person whenever possible. You always
have a better chance of getting a donation when you ask this way.
Events (page 19)
A popular way to raise money is to host events such as bene t dinner parties where
the food is paid for or is subsidized, and participants donate money to attend. If you or
a friend teaches a class, host a bene t class to raise funds for your GV Challenge goal.
Athletic event sponsorships (page 20)
Some people run a marathon or participate in other athletic events to solicit
friends, family and coworkers to sponsor them on behalf of Global Village.
Selling stuff for a profit (page 22)
Cleaning out your attic and garage and having a bene t garage sale, or designing
and selling T-shirts, or other items, can generate a signi cant amount toward your
GV Challenge goal.
