Increasing Revenue through Microfundraising with Swenson & Shropshire
Successful fundraising programs have one thing in common: diverse funding sources. One of the newer terms in today’s lingo is “micro” and now it applies to fundraising. Microfundraising is attracting small gifts from a large numbers of people using both low-tech and high-tech approaches.
The power of microfundraising is easily seen in the American Red Cross’s use of new technologies following the massive earthquake in Haiti in January 2010. The Red Cross asked people to text a simple message from their cell phone authorizing a $10 deduction from their bank accounts. Within three days, total raised: $10 million, $10 at a time. Social media now makes it possible to reach millions of potential donors with the click of a button. But the power of microgiving, or microphilanthopy, as it is also known, can be seen in smaller-scale projects, like the Burmese photographer who surpassed his $3,000 goal to present a photo exhibition documenting a local uprising, or the theater group that raised $65,000 to present a play in support of lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgendered youth. And it’s also seen in grass-roots engagements such as “Denim Days” in the workplace.
Research indicates that the message “any amount helps,” brings legitimacy to even the smallest gift, and actively encourages more money to be given. While one wouldn’t design an expensive direct mail campaign specifically to attract only small gifts, the microfundraising concept can have great potential for reaching large online audiences using the free resources of the Internet.
This three-hour class will introduce you to the concept of microfundraising and explore if this is a viable option for your organization at this time. And if so, you can help your organization put the ability to support a cause into the hands of virtually anyone, encourage people to connect with your organization, and inspire others to do the same. The result can be funds raised quickly and effectively with minimal expense – macro-funding through microfundraising.
Registrations must be received two (2) working days prior to the course for which you are registering. We are unable to accept late registrations.
National Arts Marketing, Development & Ticketing Conference
Recent high tech and high touch strategies have come to the fore to help bring audiences and donors closer to arts organizations than ever before. Whether they are already long-term patrons, or just getting started with your organization, there are new methods of engaging with your patrons that can significantly increase the life-time value of all your audiences and donors.
With tight budgets and increasing competitors, art groups that are optimizing their acquisition and renewal efforts by improving their patrons’ involvement are the ones that are thriving into the next era. Make certain that your organization is among the best by joining colleagues from across North America for three days of learning, discussing, socializing, and relaxing in vibrant New York.
Exciting times lie ahead, and we want your entire team to be ready for them! Thus, we have built many team-building workshops into the program, and have structured the tuition prices so that it will be easy for you to come as a team. Teams get the most benefit from the conference, since they return to their company with the same knowledge base, ready to roll up their collective sleeves and put the new strategies to work immediately.
