10 Tips for Fundraising in Tough Times

8. Make fundraising appeals tangible and compelling. People are presented with lots of appeals and offers. Does yours stand out? Does it compel an immediate response?

9. Empower volunteers to raise money for your organization through online peer to peer fundraising tools.

10. Encourage monthly giving. The lifetime value of monthly donors is much higher than single-gift donors — they give more per year and have higher retention rates. Present monthly giving as an option to new donors and create pathways to encourage single-gift donors to become monthly donors.
