21. Maximizing Your Results
Â
Youâve set up your Empowered.org Account, created a
fundraising campaign, and maybe even set up a few
volunteer initiatives for your chapter. Now what? This
next section is dedicated to 10 tips and tricks that can
help you get the most out of your Empowered.org
experience.
22. Tell a Story
Everybody enjoys a good story- which makes it
valuable. Make sure you not only tell donors why you
need funding, but also the story behind what led you to
begin your endeavor. Consider creating a blog to
expand your story beyond what donors can see on your
Empowered.org page. This is especially relevant if you
or have photos of past experiences that relate to the
cause, or documentation of ongoing fundraising
activities and events.

23. Push Social Media Outreach
Generally, Twitter and Facebook are the most effective
social media platforms to push your fundraising page-
but that doesnât mean you shouldnât share your
Empowered.org page link on every outlet possible
(Instagram, Youtube, Tumblr- you name it)! That being
said, creating fundraising graphics that you, your
organization, and your friends can use for proïŹle
pictures and cover photos can be particularly effective.
The longer these graphics are on display, and the
greater the amount of people who display them, the
more effective they will be.
24. Push Social Media Outreach
 Creating Facebook groups or events to publicize your
Empowered.org fundraiser is a common practice. If you
choose to do so, including a speciïŹc monetary goal in
the name of your event (Ex. Help Joe raise $1000 for
Medical Brigades!) can be a great idea by encouraging
people to help you reach a deïŹnitive goal.
Make sure to include the link to your Empowered.org
fundraising page in all social media posts, as well as in
any graphics that your organization creates. Lastly,
donât just post once and expect huge results- post
frequently and regularly!
25. Launch a $1.00 Campaign
 In todayâs social media age, each member of your
organization has hundreds, if not thousands of contacts
that they can access instantly. Imagine the impact it
would make if each of them donated only $1.00 to your
campaign. A quick and effective fundraising strategy
can be just that: asking each member of your
organization to reach out to say, 100 contacts, for a
minimal donation amount. Usually, people are much
more receptive to a request for a small and speciïŹc
donation rather than a general request for an unnamed
sum.
26. Offer Incentives
 Whether youâre a college student or an established
business, itâs easy to offer donors some form of reward
for achieving a certain donation level. This can be movie
tickets, gift baskets, etc., but the best rewards will be
relevant to your fundraising cause. If budget is an issue,
not to worry. Something as simple as a signed
photograph from your event can serve as an incentive.
Thereâs lots of room for creativity, and the possibilities
are endless!
27. Interact With Your Donors
Itâs easy to attribute all your fundraising efforts to the
online world, but donât count out your face-to-face
interactions with your family, friends, and peers. Before
heading out the door each morning, put some cards with
your Empowered.org fundraising page link written on it.
That way, whenever you ïŹnd yourself talking about your
cause (which is hopefully often!), itâll be easy to bring up
your fundraising efforts and slip the person a card.
28. Film a Video
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then think about
how much a video is worth. Videos are one of the best
ways to showcase your cause, and bring donors on
board. Many people are put off by this idea because
they think it will be time and budget intensive. However,
new apps for phones and tablets have simpliïŹed that
process immensely. Those who are uncomfortable with
the ïŹlming process can check out apps for stop motion
videos, which are created by taking a series of
photographs (ex. iMotion HD). Whatever route you
decide to take, remember to include the link to your
Empowered.org fundraising page in the video,
preferably at both the beginning and the end.
29. Obtain Press Coverage
Local newspapers and student publications on
university campuses are often open to featuring articles
about organizations who are making a positive impact,
or trying to attain a goal for a good cause. If a
publication is willing to feature your cause, make sure
you provide the background story behind your
fundraising efforts, as well as a request for readers to
join in through Empowered.org. Donât know where to
start? A quick Google search of the publication you had
in mind and their contact information is a good way to
start. Many publications also have submission
information for interested guest contributors on their
websites.
30. Mobilize your Networkâs Networks
 Chances are, someone you or your organization knows
owns their own website, blog, or has an online presence.
Some may even have access to the websites of other
organizations that they are a part of. Find out who these
people are, and ask them if they would be willing to
feature your Empowered.org page on their site. This
strategy has the greatest chance of success if you ïŹnd
people with site content that is relevant to your cause.
31. Set a Quantitative Deadline
This tip applies speciïŹcally to the end of your
fundraising campaign. When your are nearing your goal,
itâs time to make one last big push. Let your supporters
know exactly how close you are to your goal, and how
many days there are left to make it happen (ex. Only
$50 away from our $1500 goal, and 4 days to go!). With
the pressure of an impending deadline, supporters are
more likely to pitch in the last bit and pull you through
the home stretch.
32. Follow Up
Â
Â
Once your fundraising campaign ends, itâs important to
follow up with all your donors and thank them for
contributing to your cause. This not only lets them know
that they are appreciated, but encourages them to
support you again in your future Empowered.org
fundraisers. For small donor bases, a personal thank-
you card is best; for large donor bases, thank you emails
may be more practical. Lastly, itâs good practice to let
your donors know how the initiative that they
supported went (photos are a plus), so that they can see
what their money made possible.
