"We at GiveIndia are trying to use the donation as the first step
towards building a more engaged society, because only when a society is
engaged will it actually work towards uplifting its underprivileged,

India Giving Challenge 2011 |
In
the last update on the India Giving Challenge, we had shared with you
that the event had crossed the Rs. 2.5 Crores mark. This would not have
been possible without all of you and your efforts in reaching out to
your donors and requesting them for their support. While we are aware,
through the innumerous phone calls and emails that we exchanged, what
steps you took to reach out to get your donors involved, we would like
you to now share those details with us i.e. email appeals, mailers,
newsletters, videos, banners etc. - anything and everything you used to
communicate with your donors and get them to donate.
All this material will be put up on the India Giving Challenge website
and serve as a great inspiration to others. Please do take this
opportunity to showcase your NGO's efforts in making this event such a
huge success. Feel free to get in touch with Rakhee
(rakhee@giveindia.org) incase you have any queries regarding the above.
Fund Raising Tip (courtesy: blog on
fund raising)
Repetition is not bad in fundraising; it is one of the core traits of
successful fundraising. Don't think that you will irritate people if
you send a series of request, or inform them more than once about the
things you do and the things you need from them. Most of the time, what
you send or say will be disregarded or, at best, vaguely noticed before
being relegated to the back of their mind. And even if they do notice
that you've said or written something, odds are, it won't be exactly
what you said or wrote. It can get boring. But it's going to take your
donors a lot longer to get bored than it takes you. That's how you get
through and motivate the gifts you need.
