Excellent, that’s exactly what we like to hear. You’re probably on your way to becoming a Top Fundraiser already!
But just in case a couple of you haven’t started or need a little extra help, here are a five more tips to help you meet your fundraising goal:
Follow-up with the people you ask. With our Online Fundraising System you can easily send out a reminder email to donors who have not yet pledged.
Take advantage of company matching programs. Talk to your boss or HR department to find out if your company has a matching program and remind your donors to do this too. It could double your fundraising total!
Be creative with your fundraising. You could have a draw at work for donations of over $20 or invite people to a fundraising dinner at your home. Contact the MS Society office if you need more ideas or help with your own.
Let your donors know where their money is going and that they are making a difference. Three people in Canada are diagnosed with MS every day. Funds raised from the Tours go toward supporting research and client services. Visit mssociety.ca/en/research for the latest research news.
Procrastination may seem like the easiest next step. But trust us, participants who start fundraising early raise more money overall and get more out of the tours!
