- #24 JAMES The basic plan is more hands off for the organization and recommended for nonprofits that don’t have many staff hours to dedicate to it. Under a basic DIY page, your supporters have the complete freedom to fundraise for your organization in whatever creative manner they choose. This guy raised $77K riding his bike across the country.
- #25 JAMES Organizations with comprehensive third-party programs have raised over a million in their first year through DonorDrive. A Third-Party Program brings all your supporter-based fundraising together. In addition to DIY, there are Endurance programs. These best serve the endurance communities especially Marathoners. They often have high fundraising minimums to cover event bibs, airfare, meals and/or hotels. One of our clients bought 1,500 bibs in a marathon one year. Community programs fit nicely into Third Party. Organizations usually set up these events, since they can raise substantial sums and often involve cross branding. World Vision has even separated out their programs Into Team World Vision for athletic events and and My Cause for DIY.
- #26 JAMES Paws with a Cause created a unique twist on DIY. Their service dogs are specially trained for each of the individuals they help, but the price tag for training each dog is steep. They got the idea to let individuals speed up the process by fundraising half the money for their own dog. Noah’s mom raised the $10,000 in 19 hours. She then went on to give the $2500 extra she raised to another person in need of a dog.

- #32 JAMES Brand matching Make sure the software can match your brand, not just add your logo to a generic page. If it feels foreign to supporters, they may not trust that it’s really associated with your organization. (One of the pitfalls that crowdfunding had.) At DonorDrive we create custom templates for DIY. Power to admirably handle your program scope DIY can be as simple as DIY fundraising pages. Or it can be as complex as a complete third party program with DIY, an endurance element for marathoners, community fundraisers and innovative initiatives from the organization. Make sure your software is capable of that. Ease in creating campaigns If it’s not easy, you’ll lose potential campaigners. If they can’t be up and taking donations in 15 minutes to a half hour, there’s a problem. Easy email Email will bring in the biggest share of donations. If a supporter can send an email from within the software, they’re much more likely to do it. In DonorDrive supporters have complete access to email, donation tracking (so they know who to email again) And can even import their entire addressbook to send one email to all. Socially connected DIY is very social. About 46% more donations come in from social media for the DIY campaigner compared to an event participant. In DonorDrive we give supporters easy access to social tools on their fundraising dashboard and give everyone the ability to share the fundraising page. Mobile-friendly donations Today 3 out of 5 visitors to a DonorDrive fundraising page first arrive by mobile. If they can’t make a mobile donation on whatever device they’re on at the moment, you can easily lose that donor. DonorDrive has used Google-approved mobile-responsive design since 2012.
- #33 JAMES Setting up a DIY program is much cheaper than creating a new event. But the level of resources you can invest will vary. What’s consisitent from program to program is that The more you put in the more you get out. get our what you put in. In DonorDrive our clients run the gammut. Some have just turned it on and made it available. Others have a dedicated staff for their DIY program and now it’s a powerful revenue stream.
- #34 JAMES In DonorDrive DIY is built in, just like events. You just enable the fundraising type, add a few details and Fill in your content. You can literally create your DIY program in 15 minutes. With other software, the development process will vary. If it has to be built on the back end for you, make sure your software company has experience in creating DIY. Test it thoroughly by creating some DIY campaigns. As a matter of fact, have everyone on your staff and your board create campaigns for a test run to makes sure all is working correctly.
- #35 JAMES The second most important element of DIY is promoting it. You must let supporters and potential supporters know about it. While DIY can be self service, your supporters must know it exists, understand what it’s about and feel comfortable trying it. Messaging: Talk about how easy it is and promote examples of successful campaigns that your staff and board have conducted. Since DIY is so flexible, it helps to give suggestions on how to use it. Promote it everywhere. Build a campaign around it and: Email your supporters Put it on your site Talk about it in your newsletter. Send it out on social. Your biggest customers will be your staunchest supporters and these channels will get the word out to them. Promote it to specific groups. It’s likely you have supporters who have moved or are geographically distant and would still like to help. DIY is appealing, so you’ll want to figure ways to market regionally where your organization may not have a formal presence. Also promote to churches, school classes, university students, book clubs, neighborhoods etc. Supporters can start a single campaign or multiple campaigns and complete against each other for fundraising. Promote it during the “off season.” You probably do your signature events in the spring and fall, so the rest of the year is great to promote DIY and fill in the gaps. Some ideas: Valentine’s Day June wedding (In lieu of gifts) End of year. Birthdays Anniversaries
- #36 JAMES If you’ve promoted your program well, launch shouldn’t be a big issue technologically. Once your supporters start using DIY, you’ll want to watch for bugs and keep notes for possible changes to your program’s pages. Little things like better button placement, clearly wording your introduction to the program can mean more sign ups and more successful campaigns.
- #37 JAMES
- #38 JAMES Encourage virality. It’s easier to make a successful campaign more successful than to get a non-successful campaign off the ground. If one of your DIY campaigns skyrockets, do everything you can to push it more. Not only will you get more donations, but it’s great promotion for your whole DIY program. Ask others to follow suit. If a campaign is successful it’s a great opportunity to ask other to start their own campaign
