too!

characters

to share that they plan to give back
to your organization on their social
network. Retweet their posts!
28. HEIFER INTERNATIONAL
• Created an infographic that
highlighted the power of shopping
dollars when used for altruistic
purposes
•
“Does it surprise you that 79% of
Americans polled would rather have
a donation made in their name rather
than a gift they know they'll never
use? That's nearly 80 percent of your
shopping list!”
• Created an online savings calculator
that helped people figure out how
much they saved on Black Friday &
Cyber Monday…then encouraged
people to put those savings towards
Heifer International
• Engagement methods: PR, email,
social media
29. GIVE KIDS THE WORLD VILLAGE
•
•
•
•
•
•
Rolled out a social media and email campaign two weeks prior asking their Facebook
and Twitter followers to make a donation
Changed their cover photos on Facebook and Twitter with creative from their
#GivingTuesday campaign
Fortunate enough to have an anonymous donor match donations up to $10,000
The matching donation really encouraged people to donate and created a sense of
urgency
Garnered 121 new donors, and the average donation was $124
Lessons learned: start earlier, and engage fans more
30. PHOENIX HOUSE
• Rather than asking supporters for
monetary donations, Phoenix House
asked people to write letters of
encouragement to the men, women,
and teens in their treatment programs
• Provided a template letter on their
website for people to easily
personalize and send back to
Phoenix House
• Distributed the letters on
#GivingTuesday to clients in their
treatments centres
• The clients, many of whom have lost
ties with loved ones as a result of
their addictions, were grateful for the
encouraging words
