Multiply donations for your organisation! Adding a dollar matching day to your existing campaign is one of the best ways to boost fundraising and double (or triple) your donations!  Get your corporate partners involved in your fundraising campaigns by leveraging them to be a dollar matching partner. All donations and receipts made on dollar matching day will include their logo and don’t forget to shout them out on the homepage too. If you have a live campaign, jump in the backend and with a few clicks you can set up your dollar matching day! Just like how Stepping Stone House and The Chappell Foundation joined hands 🫶

Pro Tip Day 15: Live Auction Soliciting Items from Board and Committee Members: Your board and committee members are invaluable resources for securing auction items. Be specific when requesting donations—focus on unique experiences, vacation homes, or special services. Personalize your ask by highlighting how their contributions will directly support the mission and impact of your organization. Take it a step further by asking them what items they’d like to see in the live auction. This way, you increase the chances of them bidding, which could either lead to higher bids from others or a win for the organization when they bid.

The importance of this type of initiative was further demonstrated today when the Food Banks Canada released their Hungercount (2024https://lnkd.in/gzqYujhp) report. In Canada, there are now over 2 Million visits to food banks/month. A shocking number and double the number of visits that were happening monthly only 5 years ago. Also many shelters are reporting running out of food. While contributing money to this cause is not the long term solution, it will help to bridge the gap to the time when sustainable solutions are put in place.
