Helpful tips & tricks 

  1. Tell your story 
    People are more likely to donate when they are emotionally engaged. Tell your personal story or the story of the project you are supporting. Make it clear why the cause is important to you and how the donations will help in concrete terms. 
  2. Engage your network
    Tell your friends, family and colleagues about your fundraising campaign and ask them to share it. The more people who know about your campaign, the greater the chance that you will reach your goal. Personal conversations and emails are often particularly effective.
  3. Make use of social media 
    Soziale Medien sind ein mächtiges Werkzeug, um Ihre Spendenaktion bekannt zu machen. Teilen Sie die Spendenaktion über soziale Netzwerke, wie Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn. Updates zum Stand der Spendenaktion mit erneutem Spendenaufruf motivieren noch mehr Spender Ihre Spendenaktion zu unterstützen.
  4. Keep your supporters up to date 
    Informieren Sie Ihre Unterstützer:innen über den Fortschritt Ihrer Spendenaktion. Dankesnachrichten und Updates zeigen, dass ihre Spenden einen Unterschied machen und motivieren sie, weiter zu unterstützen.
  5. At events: display our information flyer 
    If you are planning an event (birthday, funeral) or a campaign (e.g. a charity run), you can display or distribute our information flyer and a poster with a QR code that links directly to the fundraising campaign. 
  6. Use creative ideas 
    Be creative and think of special activities to raise funds. Perhaps you would like to start a challenge where you complete a specific task for every donation, or offer homemade products as a thank you. 
  7. Showing gratitude 
    Don't forget to thank your supporters. A personal thank-you message or a public thank-you on your social media channels shows your appreciation. 
  8. Take advantage of our resources 
    Our platform offers numerous resources to make your fundraising campaign a success. Use our information flyers, streaming options and various sharing functions to optimally design and manage your campaign.
