4 FUNDRAISING IDEAS FOR THE NEW YEAR

CB


Posted by Charlie Bedell







The arrival of a new year signifies a fresh beginning — making it a great time
to embrace change and support causes that matter. It’s an excellent opportunity
to leverage the power of online platforms to raise the money your organization
will need throughout the rest of the year. 

These four fundraising ideas can power your fundraising efforts in the new year
by leveraging SignUpGenius and Auction Frogs.   


1. GALA FUNDRAISERS

Gala events are a classic way to bring communities together for a good cause —
and the New Year is a perfect time to host a gala to fundraise for your
organization.  

Let SignUpGenius manage donations, sponsorship, ticket sales and communication
for you: 

 * Request Donations: Create a sign up where participants can register to donate
   items for raffles, auctions and more. Request items in each slot and set
   quantities so you have a variety of offerings to excite guests. 
 * Event sponsorship: Avoid phone tag and email chains by creating a sign up to
   collect sponsorship registration. Set Start/Stop Dates for your sign ups to
   give sponsors a specific window of time to sign up, and leverage LumaPay to
   collect sponsorship payments directly on the sign up. 
 * Ticket sales: Make it easy for participants to sign up and purchase tickets
   by integrating LumaPay into your sign up. Money is transferred to your bank
   daily. 
 * Automated Messaging: Get event details, including dress code and location,
   into participants’ inboxes using automated, customized confirmation messages
   sent after participants sign up. 

Make your organization’s fundraiser gala the event of the season by using
SignUpGenius to streamline the entire event process.  


2. 5K RACE OR FUN RUN

Organizing a 5K race or a fun run is an engaging way to rally community support
and raise funds. Participants will love getting outside after the holidays and
having the opportunity to start working on their New Year’s resolutions, whether
that’s being more active, supporting the causes they care about, or both! 

SignUpGenius’ versatile platform can help to orchestrate a successful and
well-coordinated 5K race or fun run fundraiser with these 3 key elements: 

 * Participant management: Use a sign up to facilitate participant registration.
   When creating your sign up, you can include custom questions to request
   information such as t-shirt sizes and race selection. You can even create a
   QR code for event posters to allow participants to easily and quickly sign
   up. 
 * Volunteer coordination: SignUpGenius gives you a simple way to recruit,
   organize, and manage volunteers for various race-day tasks. Create slots for
   specific volunteer roles and send automated reminders to participants a few
   days before the event. 
 * Fundraising: Create opportunities for fundraising within the race, such as
   participant pledges and additional donation collections. 

SignUpGenius will streamline the logistics of your race, ensuring smooth
management of participants, volunteers, and donations.  


3. SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGE

In the age of social media, creating challenges and viral trends can be an
excellent way to raise funds and engage a broader audience — entirely online.
Integrate SignUpGenius into your social media event for an easy way to collect
donations with a seamless, secure process.  

With just a few clicks, participants can access the sign up link to donate
directly from the social media post using LumaPay. Let participants decide how
much they’d like to donate with the option to enter their payment amount,
allowing for however much participants are able to give.  

By combining social media outreach and LumaPay's secure payment processing,
these challenges can generate buzz, engage a wide audience, and drive donations
for the cause. 


4. ONLINE AUCTIONS

Online auctions have emerged as a popular and profitable way to efficiently
engage donors while offering exciting items for bid. Participants with busy
schedules will love being able to bid on items online even if they wouldn’t have
been able to make it to a live auction. And competing for items adds an element
of fun while raising more money for your cause! 

 Hosting online auctions is easy with Auction Frogs, a reliable and
user-friendly platform that streamlines the entire auction process. 

When planning for your online auction with Auction Frogs, make sure you: 

 * Curate auction items: Offer a diverse range of items, from unique experiences
   to valuable products, catering to a wide audience. 
 * Brainstorm engagement strategies: Use Auction Frogs' features like real-time
   bidding, countdown timers, and mobile responsiveness to drive engagement. 
 * Build promotion for the event: Use social media, email campaigns, and
   word-of-mouth to create buzz and attract more participants to the auction. 
 * Allow for direct donations: Incorporate ways for participants to donate
   without having to participate in the auction by integrating LumaPay into your
   Auction Frogs auction.  

Auction Frogs simplifies the management of online auctions, ensuring an easy
fundraising experience for you and your participants. 

The start of a new year offers an opportune moment to revitalize your
fundraising initiatives. These four ideas can bring a fresh and successful
approach to fundraising with the help of online platforms like SignUpGenius and
Auction Frogs. Combine the power of technology and community engagement to make
a lasting impact on causes that matter to your organization the most.
