6 Trends For Successful Fundraising In 2020

The non-profit and fundraising industry is as dynamic as any other, and like many other industries, technology has revolutionised fundraising; both in the way we give and how we engage with charitable organisations.  

1. Mobile/Online Technology 2. Generation Optimisation 3. Sustainability 4. Security 5. Global Reach 6. Sponsor Friendly

Attracting sponsorship can make a huge difference to charities and non-profits’ fundraising totals.  Sponsorship can help cushion the cost of fundraising campaigns and big brand alignment can boost awareness of the cause itself. Used in conjunction with traditional printed materials, such as posters and physical banners, digital delivers sponsors wider exposure and the potential for a high volume of connections.

5 Ways Your Phone Can Raise Money For Charity

Want to raise money for charity but don’t know where to start?  Would it help if we told you there are online fundraising options right there on your phone?

From banking to social activities, many aspects of our lives are organised or managed via our phones. Fundraising is no different.  There’s a variety of ways you can help support your favourite cause, from auctions to raffles; donation buttons to social media.

With an option to suit every budget and fundraising event, easy to use technology makes raising money for charity so simple.

Let’s take a closer look:

1. The Silent Auction A silent auction is run online via a dedicated mobile fundraising app or website.  Prizes are displayed in a digital catalogue.  Bidders can place a bid for any item up to a specified deadline date.  Organisers can fix minimum bid amounts to ensure prizes receive adequate bids.

Benefits Although silent auctions can be run in conjunction with a physical event they can also be run entirely online.   As the administration is completed online through the mobile fundraising app, the auction can be managed from a mobile device anytime, anywhere.  

The online fundraising auction allows organisers accept bids from anywhere in the world (this can make a huge difference to participation numbers and funds raised).

2. The Live Auction

The live auction is a physical event that raises money for charity. It might be a gala ball, dinner or sporting occasion.   The auction takes place during the course of the event and usually involves an MC or auctioneer who hosts the auction and encourages bidding.

Live auctions usually involved marquee prizes such as luxury holidays or one-off experiences.

Benefits Although a live auction takes place at a live event, the administration and bidding takes place online. Like the silent auction, the live auction prizes can be digitally displayed.  

At the event itself bidders simply download the fundraising app and place their bid.  Bid tallies and updates can be displayed via a big screen leader board.

3. Paper-Free Sealed Bids

A sealed bid auction used to mean paper envelopes and manual processing.  

Bidders would write down their maximum bid and seal it in an envelope.  Nobody would know how much anyone else had bid.  At the end of the bidding, all envelopes are opened and the highest bidder would win.

That process is now available via digital platforms that negate the need for paper.  Bidders still submit their maximum bid but via their mobile device.  Once the auction closes all bids are digitally sorted and the highest bidder determined.

Benefits Zero paper waste and zero opportunity for mistakes.  The digital format means less risk of tampering, lost bids or errors.

4. The Modern Raffle Unlike its traditional predecessor, the modern raffle is a paper-free way to raise money for charity.  It dispenses with tickets and tombolas in favour or a 100% digital platform.  

Participants purchase their digital ticket online. The automated draw takes place at the touch of a button and can accommodate any number of ‘winners’.

Benefits Great for small fundraising events and community groups, the modern raffle is an easy choice for organisers who want a hassle free fundraising solution.

It’s super fast to set-up and the raffle link can be sent out via SMS to participants or posted as a link on social media sites and email.

5. Smart Donation Button A donation button allows cause supporters to make a direct cash donation via any mobile device.  It’s usually sits on mobile devices as an addition to a silent/live auction or raffle.
