Make your nonprofit fundraiser ideas WORK! Check out strategies from this fundraising event, coordinated by teenagers, that raised $200,000 in less than 4 months. #Nonprofit #Fundraising #Nonprofits
Fundraising for nonprofits is hard, but there are some fundraising tips and strategies we can use to make our ideas more effective. In this video I share how a fundraising event for charity held annually in my city - the Enloe Charity Ball - raises so much money. What are they doing so well to get donations that we can learn from?
Whether you’re starting a nonprofit or are a seasoned nonprofit fundraiser or other professional, we can learn a lot from these amazing kids at Enloe High School.

I'm trying to fundraise for the upfront cost of a Miniature horse trained to be a Mobility assistance Service Animal (I can afford the care, but upfront cost for purchase and transport would be $4,500). The help this mini would give me, might get me out of my wheelchair at least part time, and would enable me to start seeking a job again. The problem is that I barely have family, or friends, and no real impact on social media. I've only been able to raise about 9% of $4,500 in 107 days, and more than half of that came from selling items I owned. I'm at a lost for how to improve my reach, and losing hope because the low goal is time sensitive.

@rebekahsurvance2485 2 года назад

Ok, what about raising funds that isn't for another charity to give to but for your nonprofit that helps the community? Any ideas on how you get sponsors?

@AmberMelanieSmith 2 года назад

Definitely, I have a whole playlist of videos about fundraising for your nonprofit! :) Check it out: ru-vid.com/group/PL-JB-jNZz_qDsIzO4yDiXT9Z-ryxKjVPe

Hello am working on my community based organization. Yeterday 28/05/2020 was our first project. We had a tough time raising money. So how do you suggest we should make our fundraising. Thank you

@AmberMelanieSmith 4 года назад

Hey there! I would say the top thing donors want is to showcase the impacts your project is making! What are your goals, and what is your track record of meeting goals to make an impact so far? Talk about those things and donors will want to help even more!

@perfectlyimperfect7574 4 года назад

Hello guys. Im from srilanka. I also needed a fundraising for a project that I wish to start. But my country has some restrictions for even raising funds through facebook. What to do? Still waiting for an opportunity to have a financial support to start the project

@AmberMelanieSmith 3 года назад

Do you have other platforms you can fundraise through? A direct website, PayPal, Stripe, Square, GoFundMe, etc..

@maavi8930 3 года назад

@@AmberMelanieSmith In my country we dont get a IBAN number for banks. So it is impossible to use a platform like gofundme. But I have a paypal and a skrill to that. Even facebook fundraisers are also not working for us.😥

I am trying to organize a charity football match to raise money for some teenagers in my area to set up their business.. I don't know how to raise. I would be glad if someone can help me see this idea through

@AmberMelanieSmith 3 года назад

Hey there! I'd start by writing your idea / plan in a 'fundraising plan' that you can share with potential sponsors and supporters in your area. Ask for their feedback - would they support it? If not, what would cause them to hesitate? That feedback can give you valuable info!

@osanders22 4 года назад

NON PROFIT doesn't mean they don't make money doing it.

@AmberMelanieSmith 4 года назад

I've heard some say a better phrase would be Not FOR Profit. The people in nonprofit work can't make a "profit" from the work - all funds go back into the mission. But, you can pay staff to execute on the mission.

@figuringitoutttt 3 года назад

I need to riase £1600 in one month is it possible to fundraise this much, how with no connections

@AmberMelanieSmith 3 года назад

Hello! People generally donate to a cause when they have built some kind of trust with the organization raising the money. If you don't currently have connections, you can always start to build them from scratch but that can take time. Start with those you know already and already have trust with.

What happens when you grow up in a community that is not self-sabotaging or ghetto. I would have loved being around people who could understand working in a team, rather than just who had the title of "leader" and acted like a git King/Queen barking orders.

@olivecan4805 3 года назад

Why did it take you 4 min and 16 seconds to get to the first point. I almost gave up watching. Do shorter intros to keep your audience. It was very informative! :)

Thanks for the feedback! I like to provide context so things later in the video make sense, but I appreciate hearing from folks on what works for them.

@lallred1911 3 года назад

How much of the over $200,000 was received after one or some of the teens said "Daddy, pleeeeease! I want to be the one to get the largest donations." If the parents could afford it, I'm sure many would try to honor that wish.

@AmberMelanieSmith 3 года назад

That may be the case for some students, but certainly not all. The idea is that every student participates in whatever way they can - volunteering, social media, etc. and the end result that comes together is a lot of funds raised!

@Ggdivhjkjl 2 года назад

Biologically, most teenagers are young adults. This has been widely recognised throughout all of history in almost every culture everywhere on earth. Even today, libraries still have a section called "young adult fiction" which is intended for teenagers because this fact was so recently still known to all English speakers. It is demeaning, disempowering, and scientifically incorrect to refer to young adults as "kids". Out of respect for the abilities of young adults, everyone should cease that cruel and belittling bad habit.

@AmberMelanieSmith 2 года назад

I've found through working with them that they are definitely beyond many adults when it comes to thinking about how to create positive change in the world!

@injuryadvocates7602 2 года назад

It really ain't that serious. Trust, kids, teenagers, young adults know when their being demeaned through words and when their being respected. CALM DOWN
