The world you fundraise in has fundamentally shifted—your supporters are hyper-connected, live inside personal feeds, and are continually ambushed with messages vying for their attention. These shifts have made it challenging to cultivate donor relationships and reach new donors.
However, many organizations are thriving within our new reality by rethinking how they approach fundraising and adopting a new playbook: community-driven fundraising.
In this session, we’ll show you exactly how you can too by highlighting how leaders at arts, animal, and advocacy to cancer, crisis relief, and community-service nonprofits are successfully leveraging peer-to-peer initiatives to strengthen donor relationships and reach new donors.
Learning Objectives:
*Why peer-to-peer is not a tactic but rather an approach you can incorporate into fundraising efforts all year
*Different types of peer-to-peer initiatives and how to effectively plan and coordinate into your fundraising plan
*How to activate and rally your supporters to advocate for your cause, helping you reach new donors

Creating a good festival booth will require some aspects when buying the equipment and at the actual set up of the festival booth.
If you get the right equipment and using it well will make your craft stand out from the rest and attract more people. Below are some tips on how to make you create an outstanding festival booth.
Right equipment
Right equipment is the first thing you get for the booth. You will need a tent that will fit the purpose of the booth. Get table which are light transportable and tall enough. You need to place you products in in a place where they are visible and accessible to the customers. Give yourself enough space to sit and move around when talking to the people.
Creating a Great Display
In our case it is a booth for a car washing fundraiser for Catholic Charities to raise money to help the needy in the community. You need to design it in a way that will communicate the message to the people. This will attract many people as opposed to a plain booth which has no plan.

2. In December 2015, idfive partnered with the
Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter to
create an integrated, grass roots campaign that
raised over $250,000 in donations.
We’d like to share what lead to this success.
3. First off, we picked the right partner. BARCS is an
extremely productive local shelter, with great name
recognition, over 60,000 Facebook followers, has
hundreds of volunteers and plenty of local businesses
supporting their mission.
It was our job to get these people to only only
donate, but push the campaign to new audiences
4.
5. Give the campaign a name, a
theme and a story.
People gravitate toward organized and active campaigns. You don’t
always need a hashtag, but comprehensive visuals, fonts and
messaging go a long way to make donors and advocates feel like
they’re apart of something big. Remember, they don’t want to just
give, they want to feel like, alongside others, that they’re making a
difference.
6. Create content to be
passed around.
A social media presence is nothing without great content. When it
comes to content for a campaign, we don’t mean ads or extensive
research, we mean graphics, blogs and videos that can be easily
digested and shared.
If your budget is limited, then just focus on one piece of content—our
three minute BARCS #PayItFurward video was shared over 1,000
times alone.
8. Give advocates a
sense of urgency.
Just a few hours into Giving Tuesday, a dog in critical care was
dropped off at BARCS. In light of this new reality, the campaign
switched gears to tell donors that all the money they were donating
was first going to one dog named Avi, who needed to be saved. This
kind of action-based involvement is a perfect example of how to
increase the urgency of the campaign and convey its purpose.
9. Involve local
businesses.
The #PayItFurward campaign rallied local businesses to support the
cause by sharing the video on Facebook, putting posters in their stores
and handing out branded BARCS dog treats. Involving local businesses
is always a great way to reach new audiences and build the broader,
communal feeling that inspires people to give and get involved. Use
these co-marketing tips to help you find the right businesses to spread
your messaging.
10. Use an integrated
mix of tactics.
In order to give your campaign a comprehensive feel, and in order to
reach all possible audiences, you need to have a mix of online and
offline tactics. Much of the success of #PayItFurward was due to the
unabashed mix of tactics: Dog treat hand-outs in the local
neighborhood, direct emails, online video, posters, social media posts,
local news PR, billboards, etc.
11. Leverage social
networks on Facebook.
Campaigns like this show us just how important a Facebook following
is. But you can’t stop with your own channel, you need to influence
others to share, including non-competing businesses, applicable blogs
and relevant organizations. Using these outlets as audience-builders is
a very effective and often underutilized tactic.
12.
13. Keep the angle local.
Baltimore has a rich culture and generous spirit—but this attitude can be
found anywhere. Unearthing this spirit by keeping a local angle is a great
way to motivate people.
In fact, while your campaign needs to have a collective and impactful
feel, being too big and faceless can hurt as it prevents potential donors
from making that all-important personal connection. A local angle can
help tap into people’s competitive and communal natures by motivating
them to help prove that they’re part of a caring, compassionate, and
committed community
14. Matching gifts motivates
givers.
Everyone loves a two-fer. It’s fundraising common knowledge, but worth
reaffirming that having someone to match donations will inspire people
to give because they feel that their gift has twice the impact. On
#GivingTuesday, idfive matched donations up to $1,500, and the
campaign raised $32,000 in that day alone.
15. Set a Clean
(and attainable) goal.
Setting a fundraising goal does two things: it creates urgency around a
time-sensitive movement and it motivates advocates. When you have
these two things, you’re bound to amass an audience that is working
together at the same time and focused on this one issue.
16. If you have any questions about how to develop the
type of creative work and strategy that can maximize a
fundraising effort, feel free to give us a shout.

campaign, check out the case study.
