Best Practices& Tips

Webinar Serieswww.pledgeling.com| Best Practices & Tips16

Promote Evite as a New Fundraising Channel


Encourage your staff, donors and volunteers to pledge their birthdays and upcoming events to your organizations.

Promotional Tips: • Empower Your Champions to be

Fundraisers• Include Links to Evite on Site, in Email, etc.• Feature Top Fundraisers in Campaigns

FreeTool!

The Holidays33% of all donations are made during these holiday months. Try giving up a gift or two and ask for donations instead!

BirthdayWhy not give up your gifts and ask for donations instead? Make this year special. Celebrate your birthday and a great cause at the same time.

Make it Personal


Encourage your audience to share their personal stories of their affiliation with your cause. Studies show that people give more when there is an emotional connection.

TIP: Remind guests in the body of your Evite invitation that in lieu of, or in addition to, traditional party gifts, you would like them to make a donation by clicking the “Donate” button.

Memorials: Include Evite Donations in Mention of Tribute Gifts


These gifts in memoriam tend to be higher than the average online donation and are a personal way to help promote & support someone’s favorite organization.
