    It’s helpful that Giving Tuesday as a whole is already pretty widely known, and it’ll be easier than with a solo campaign to generate buzz.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The power of matching gifts and donations<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Matching gifts are one of the more popular corporate giving programs that involve <\/span>an organization or company matching any donations from employees or others at a typical ratio of one to one<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The reason why matching gift campaigns are so successful is that they help people feel excited about their increased individual impact. It also effortlessly helps you raise more donations for your cause.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Statistics even show that <\/span>84% of donors<\/span><\/a> would donate more if their contributions were matched!<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"aHow to set up your own matching gift event<\/b><\/h3>\n

    To do this, <\/span>all you need to do is find sponsors, organizations, or local businesses that will help match your donors’ contributions<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Of course, this can go up to a certain amount or whatever you end up agreeing upon.<\/span>
    \n    <\/a>
    \nThis will also help those local businesses or organizations get more recognition and reinforce them as a positive influence in the community. It’s a win-win-win!<\/span><\/p>\n

    #2. Peer-to-peer fundraising campaign<\/b><\/h2>\n

    One of the best ways to take control of your upcoming fundraiser is by involving the people closest to you and your organization. <\/span>And with a peer-to-peer campaign, you’ll be able to utilize the benefits of social media campaigns to the max.<\/b><\/p>\n

    All you need to do is ask your supporters and others involved in your cause to start their own fundraising pages online.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Your cause will then be spread far and wide, helping you rake in as many donations as you can!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Social media can make any Giving Tuesday campaign a success<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Social media channels and other online platforms can help you effectively push your event’s success.<\/span><\/p>\n

    After all, everyone and everything is on the internet, and you’re missing out<\/span> if you’re not using that<\/span> to your advantage!<\/span><\/p>\n

    When it comes to peer-to-peer fundraising ideas, you can’t expect success without utilizing social media or other online platforms.<\/span>
    \n    <\/a>
    \nThat will be the foundation on which your supporters will spread the word while getting donations.<\/b><\/p>\n

    #3. Host a corporate event with a Master of Ceremonies<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Sometimes, the best way to kick off Giving Tuesday is with a classic corporate event.<\/span><\/p>\n

    With the right emcee at the helm, it’ll be easy to treat your guests to a memorable evening while raising money for a good cause!<\/span><\/p>\n

    I’ve been a corporate emcee for over twenty years and <\/span>have seen how a great event can help a company or organization meet its goals<\/b>. And it’s the same thing for fundraisers or any nonprofit organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"anKeeping your audience engaged will help the donations flow in<\/b><\/h3>\n

    If you want your fundraiser to be a success, you need to ensure that people are <\/span>excited to be there<\/span><\/i>. Having a great cause at your back will only do so much.<\/span>
    \n    <\/a>
    \nYou need humor, engagement, and interest at the forefront to get people excited!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    #4. Have a fundraising auction<\/b><\/h2>\n

    You can never go wrong with a good ol’ fashioned auction. This is one of the best ways to have some fun while raising money!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Whether you <\/span>host an online auction<\/span><\/a> or a silent bidding war, <\/span>putting items up for bid in an effort to raise money helps participants walk away with a new treasure or two<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Plus, it’s easy to make it into a more laid-back and causal event if you’re not up for something big and flashy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Or, you can easily scale it up and put on a show!<\/span><\/p>\n

    How to make sure your auction is a success<\/b><\/h3>\n

    The key here is to ensure that you’re bidding on items that people actually <\/span>want<\/span><\/i>. It doesn’t make sense to go this route if you have nothing to offer the people!<\/span><\/p>\n

    This is also where it <\/span>really pays off<\/span><\/i> if you know your audience and target demographic well.<\/span><\/p>\n

    That way, you can ensure you offer things that will get people interested.<\/span><\/p>\n
