Participants are fully engaged in your efforts.<\/h3>\n<p>The people who participate in your Giving Day don\u2019t have to choose from a long list of different causes to determine where their charitable allowance will go. They\u2019re empowered to <strong>invest their time, money, or influence in a single cause or community<\/strong> \u2013 yours!<\/p>\n<p>This makes their efforts more personal, intentional, and impactful because they have chosen to participate based on shared values.

You may take a more hands-on approach, have deeper volunteer involvement, or have a more close-knit team than others. Giving Days are a flexible event model that doesn\u2019t require specific activities or protocols, so take advantage of what makes you special!<\/p>\n<header data-toc-subtag=\"4. Use your locality to your advantage\" id=\"section-3-toc-5\"><\/header>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-you-can-use-your-locality-to-your-advantage\">4. You can use your locality to your advantage.<\/h3>\n<p>The greatest benefit of strong community support is your closeness to volunteers, advocates, and other fundraisers who share the same goals. People who are familiar with your work are more prepared to participate and spread the word. Plus, you can generate more interest in your Giving Day by engaging their networks.<\/p>\n<p>Your engagement doesn\u2019t have to stop with your constituents or peers. Are there other community figures who share your values? <strong>Giving Days present an opportunity for local leaders to address local challenges<\/strong> \u2013 and for you, it\u2019s an opportunity to leverage their networks to encourage participation from businesses, educational institutions, and more.<\/p>\n<header data-toc-subtag=\"5.

Your donors want to feel a sense of belonging and recognition from their peers \u2013 and their friends, family, and colleagues are likely to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social proof turns their participation into a shared experience and their impact into a shared achievement.<\/strong> By creating opportunities for your Giving Day donors, volunteers, and advocates to share their stories, you can strengthen their influence on others.<\/p>\n<header data-toc-subtag=\"6.

Invite constituents to engage their personal networks to get you closer to your goal, and show your progress on a <a href=\"\/integrations\/online-fundraising\/dp-giving-meter\/\">goal meter<\/a>, so your crowdfunders can post updates on social media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<header data-toc-subtag=\"7.

In other words, the flexibility of Giving Days fosters a sense of alignment between your personal responsibilities and your nonprofit\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<p>You know your organization better than anyone, so put your ideas front and center! The same inspiration that moved you to become a leader of your mission can motivate others to make an impact. What do you all have in common?

This is not a new insight \u2013 the history of advertising is based on this simple premise \u2013 and yet it is one that nonprofits might benefit from paying more attention to.\u201d<\/p>\n<header data-toc-subtag=\"9.

You can engage and retain diverse donors.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lookback.givingtuesday.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Industry experts suggest<\/a> that<strong> recent declines in giving could be caused by a lack of diversity in fundraising.<\/strong> People are still eager to help, but they aren\u2019t being engaged in the right way \u2013 or they aren\u2019t being engaged at all. Many important groups remain overlooked due to their lack of monetary contributions or the size of their donations \u2013 disregarding their potential to volunteer their time, advocate for your cause, or invite a friend to your event.<\/p>\n<p>If you make the effort to connect, they could become dedicated donors someday. Even something as simple as chatting about your plans at a coffee shop can help you spread the word to people that your emails won\u2019t reach.<\/p>\n<p>Fundraising is not a competition for dwindling dollars and scarce resources \u2013 it\u2019s about embracing the full spectrum of generosity from volunteer hours to major gifts, recognizing that each act is a step toward a shared goal.
