If you’re looking to launch an online fundraiser, you likely have a good understanding of why tapping into digital activities raises more money. Unfortunately, there are many charities that miss an incredible opportunity to bolster their fundraising campaigns because they aren’t tapping into digital avenues.

There are few things better than Krispy Kreme doughnuts. A large percentage of the uBack team grew up in North Carolina, and we know the value of the Hot Doughnuts NOW! light and those awesome doughnuts. In fact, there’s likely not a Krispy Kreme fundraiser out there we wouldn’t support.

A doughnut fundraiser can be a great way to earn money for your organization. Integrating it with a mobile app platform can make it even better. Here are three benefits of setting up mobile app giving capabilities before you launch your Krispy Kreme fundraiser.

How many times have you walked out of the grocery store and looked up to see the cutest 5-year old girl in pigtails asking you to buy some cookies? We all love supporting kids and their organizations. Whether it's their school, scouting troop, sports team, dance team, or the roller derby club – who doesn’t mind spending a few bucks to help out a child’s cause? Having bought our fair share of cookies and cookie dough, we’ve given the cookie fundraiser a lot of thought. Here are five things you should do before you launch one of your own.

Events are a vital revenue source for many charity organizations. If you want to meet your fundraising goal, every detail is important. Logistics can make or break a charity event, but so can the way you incorporate the “ask.” Don’t leave it to chance. Use our checklist for success when you’re planning your next fundraising event.

Charity golf tournaments can be great fundraisers for many organizations. With much of the overhead costs donated, nonprofits especially can earn much-needed funds with these tournaments. People don’t mind paying money for a fun afternoon of golf.

These events are also an effective way to fortify partnerships with sponsors. As you plan your event, consider this important question:

How are we making our participants aware of the corporate sponsorships on the day of the event?

What would make people all over the country, even the world, dump buckets of ice on their heads and then post videos of their soggy selves online for everyone to see? The answer: A worthy cause, tons of peer pressure, and the momentum of a viral online phenomenon.

The giving technology landscape is crowded. When it comes to mobile, there are several platforms that can help your fundraising efforts, but trying to find the right solution for your organization can be cumbersome. Begin by mapping your needs to the offered solution. Where do they align and where do they branch apart. Break through the marketplace noise and find the partner that’s going to help you draw the most engagement and support from your current and potential donor bases.

Here are some key components to consider when ramping up your mobile fundraising and partnering with a giving platform.

If you’re in charge of a nonprofit organization, you’re busy. You work tirelessly and often pour your heart into the causes you support. We know. It’s not easy. That’s why finding the right partner to help your organization move the needle is a critical component of your success. We believe the single best way to raise more money for your organization now and in the future is to enable digital technology, specifically with a mobile giving app. 

There’s a reason texting has become such a popular way of communicating. It’s easy, inexpensive, and it doesn’t clutter our kitchen counters. It’s the same with mobile banking. The ease of depositing money in your account makes it hard to go back to paper statements and deposit slips.

One of the most cumbersome parts of charitable giving, for both the donor and the organization, is gathering and providing tax receipts. For nonprofit organizations, it’s a constant process to thank people for giving their hard-earned money. The good news is if you have tons of thank you notes and receipts to send, it means you are receiving lots of donations. Keeping up with all the communication, however, can have you feeling like you’re in the middle of a never-ending wedding. You appreciate every gift, but your hand hurts from writing so many thank you notes and your spouse isn’t helping.
