4 STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING
PERSONALIZE YOUR PAGE
Personalize your fundraising page. Come up with a cool title, polish the blurb and add a photo of yourself. Make sure you explain why you are embarking on this adventure and why you care about the work of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque.
Make the first donation. The people you solicit will be all the more willing to do so if you have contributed yourself. And the amount of your donation will also serve as a reference. So be generous!
Start by asking people who are very close to you. Start with your family. Send them an email explaining your approach. These people will be more easily mobilized than people further away from your circle of trust. And for you too, it will be easier to ask! Once you have received the first donations, you can expand your request to your friends and then to a wider circle of acquaintances.
Once again, do not forget to PERSONALIZE each e-mail, it is very important!
USE SOCIAL NETWORKS
The best of social network. Now that you have received the first donations, start using social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to raise funds. Again, tell your story, share the key stages of your project (e.g. when you reach 50% of your goal), share photos of you in action at training, baking the cakes you will sell in the office to raise money, etc.
The art of tagging. On Facebook, tag those who have already donated on your page and thank them. When you tag someone, your post is shared in your newsfeed as well as the person's. Success breeds success!
THINK OF THE TAX EXEMPTION ARGUMENT
Do not hesitate to remind your contacts that donations are tax-deductible! Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque is an Association of general interest with a humanitarian character (in the sense of article 6 of the law of July 1st 1901).
Private individuals : your donations are deductible at 75% of your income tax up to 1000 € (in 2022), and 66% beyond that. A donation of 50 € costs you only 12.5 € after tax reduction.
THANK YOUR FAMILY AND FRIEND
Do not forget to say thank you. All the people you have approached during your fundraising deserve a big, big thank you! Simply because without them, you could not have done it.
