Non profits need to fundraise regularly, that is the truth. Being creative and think outside the box pays off. Jen Elis is supporters of 2 organizations and she’s using her new fame to support them in a big way.
Another example: our LA local NPR station KCRW is auctioning off a branded bike designed by musical duo Sofi Tukker. KCRW has long been playing their music from the beginning, and the duo was more than glad to use their fan base to bring in more donations. The latest custom T-shirt sold by LA hiking expert Casey Schreiner (aka Modern Hiker) was designed by local LA artist.
When you join forces with someone else, your combined powers will result in a supercharged campaign. Find out if there is a well-known donor / supporter for your non profit, and ask for collaboration. Whether it is a fundraising t-shirt, or a special branded item to be auctioned, there is an advantage to collaborate. For a school fundraiser, look for a famous alumni, or supporter with a special skill that can bring your next fundraiser to the another level.
