💡Tips to Boost Your Fundraising
Start Early. It may seem like you have all the time in the world, but the sooner you begin, the more you'll raise.
Customize your personal fundraising page. Your contributions will automatically count toward your team’s total.
Share often. Update your personal fundraising page with photos and stories to promote your efforts and your progress and then share to your social media channels. Ask your friends, coworkers and family to make a donation in your (or your pet’s) honor.
Get the word out. After logging into your fundraising page, use the built-in email and social media tools to ask friends and family to support your Amazing Tails Scavenger Hunt participation. Keep supporters updated on your progress with occasional updates. Donations can be mailed to 2519 Hermitage Road, Richmond, VA 23220, or dropped off (cash/check) at the front desk of our humane center.
Send handwritten notes. A personal touch goes a long way. Thank you notes will mean a lot to people who’ve donated.
Double your donations. Does your company have a matching gift program? Ask your employer to match what you raise.
Donate your birthday. Ask friends to donate in honor of your birthday or milestone instead of purchasing a gift. You can easily do this by creating a Facebook Fundraiser.
Give something up. Skip a treat and donate the cost instead. You'll enjoy the sweet satisfaction that you’re helping a pet in need!
Plan something fun: Maybe themed outfits or a team name that stands out.
Stay in touch with your team: Share weekly updates, event news, and progress.
