Run a Giving Tuesday Raise-a-thon

Involve your participants in a Giving Tuesday challenge by seeing who can raise the most funds in 24 hours! Select a fun prize to motivate the team or group and encourage them to reach out to donors and try to raise as much as possible, then give the prize to the participant who raises the most!

Share your fundraiser on social media with #GivingTuesday

Use the share feature in the Snap! Mobile app or copy and paste your fundraiser’s link to social media posts! Remember to add the hashtag #GivingTuesday and share details about what the funds will mean for your program in the caption to inspire donors to give!

In the spirit of giving, we’ve created these graphics for you that you can share on your team or personal social media accounts to promote your fundraiser! Click on the images to open and save them to your device.

Email and text potential donors

Snap! Raise does most of this work for you with our automated outreach to the emails and phone numbers you provide for potential donors, but it never hurts to personally reach out, especially on Giving Tuesday. Encourage participants to send a heartfelt message to their friends and family and share their fundraiser page!

*bonus* On Giving Tuesday, Snap! Raise will send an extra automated email to potential donors of active fundraisers!

We hope these tips help your program run a successful fundraiser during Giving Tuesday! Don’t forget to say thank you to those who give to your fundraiser – Their generosity makes all the difference for your program, so be sure to show your gratitude with a kind note or message.
