The Art of Creative and Effective Fundraising
Strategies
2

• A creative fundraising strategy is innovative and
  unique. It has a clear goal in mind and does not
  rely on traditional fundraising methods.
• Creative fundraisers are the ones who use
  unconventional methods to raise funds for their
  organizations. They often do this using
  unconventional means such as crowdfunding or
  guerrilla marketing tactics.
• Creative fundraisers can be more creative with
  their fundraising strategies because they do not
  have to follow the same rules as other
  organizations. This allows them to be more
  creative and take risks with their approach,
  which can result in a successful outcome for
  their organization. The strategies they can
  undertake include
• The time, amount of money and resources they need
  to achieve their goals.
• The period in which the fundraiser will run.
• How long it will last.
• Where it takes place.

• 5 Tips for Writing a Creative Effective
  Fundraising Campaign
• Creative fundraising campaigns are often the most
  effective. They can be as simple as a video or as
  complex as a full-fledged website. Here are 5
  tips for writing a creative and effective
  fundraising campaign.
• Make your audience feel something Creative
  writing is about connecting with an audience and
  making them feel something. It would be best to
  make them care about your cause and understand
  why it's worth supporting.
• Draw on what you know When you're writing, you
  must draw on what you know - the things that
  makeup who you are - both personally and
  professionally, including your own experiences or
  those of people close to you. This will help
  ground your message and make it relatable to the
  reader.
• Keep it simple Fundraising campaigns can be
  complicated, but don't overcomplicate them. Keep
  it simple because when donors get bogged down in
  too much detail, they lose interest quickly.
• Give donors the ability to give Donors
  appreciate being able to make a difference, and
  they respond well to having their voices heard.
  So, give donors opportunities for involvement-
  both in your campaign and what you ultimately do
  with their donation.
• Keep it personal When fundraising, focus on what
  matters most - people. The more personal your
  message is, the more likely a donor will be
  compelled by it. This means finding ways to
  connect with donors through stories that appeal
  to them personally or through their experience as
  person who needs help or an individual who wants
  justice.
