actions.Help donors make meaningful
connections between themselves + your work.
Donors want to feel like they are “doing something.”
Make supporting your work challenging + fun!
Everyone wants to feel special.
Segment your communications to help supporters feel important.

How to get new donors (2)

Understand your donors
WHO ARE THEY?My donors are often also Digital Nomads. They are people who don't want to give only money, but also want to come to Uganda and see the projects. They also love social media and to be featured.
1. Think about your donors’ demographics.2. Think about their preferences.3. Think about their behaviors and interests.
![Page 33: Cultivating New Donors - GlobalGiving · Ashish’s FB post Next Session! Join us on Oct. 23 for “How to Retain Donors for the Long Term” 2019 #GivingTuesday Campaign Harness](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050418/5f8dac6aaa67e251280440fe/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Build Relationships With Your DonorsHAPPY SPONSORS ATTRACT SPONSORSI see my sponsors as my friends! Even the new ones, they become my friends! I take time to answer all their questions. I outsource a lot, but make sure that I always keep personal contact.
1. Write personal emails with them2. Have a Whatsapp plugin or so on the website3. Have a private Facebook Group for them
![Page 34: Cultivating New Donors - GlobalGiving · Ashish’s FB post Next Session! Join us on Oct. 23 for “How to Retain Donors for the Long Term” 2019 #GivingTuesday Campaign Harness](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050418/5f8dac6aaa67e251280440fe/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Make your sponsor the hero!SHOW THE IMPACT THAT THEY MADEMake sure that your sponsor is the hero of your story. Of course our local team in Uganda does all the work, which we appreciate as well. But we in particular show the sponsor how we used his/her money and hence the impact that he/she made through us! Be super transparent.
Always send thank you notes to them.
It is easier to let a current sponsor increase their donation then getting new sponsors!

Make your sponsors ambassadors!PEER-TO-PEER FUNDRAISINGOur sponsors are very actively involved in 22STARS and they are proud to be part of the team! Hence we make our ambassadors team members and put them on our website. In return they speak about our projects to their friends and start personal fundraiser pages. Many of them came to Uganda as well. It always helps when new sponsors see familiar faces as it builds up trust!

My tools
Gmass/G SuiteLets you send out mass emails at the same time, but personalised!! Put all your information in a spreadsheet.
Website PluginsInstall POP-UPS on your website with a specific call for action! Don’t ask for everything! Pick one specific cause with a certain amount needed and urgency.
Social Media/StorytellingAsk your sponsors for their social media handles and tag them now and then in your posts on Facebook/Instagram!
DropboxI created a dropbox folder with promotional material, so my sponsors can easily download this material to start a fundraiser for us.
Google/FB AdsI just got the grant accepted. I will promote that people sign up for our newsletter to get to know us first!

Some extra tips!
For a new campaign launch Ask 10 friends to donate 10 euros (or other currency) immediately!
Cross-promote!When I see socially conscious brands or other people making impact I give them shoutouts on my Instagram account!
Host small events!The contact between people is much more intimate if the group is not bigger than 15/20 people!

Volunteer at conferences and never stop learning!
I go to at least 10 conferences a year, most of them are for (location independententrepreneurs)/digital nomads.
I volunteer at most of these conferences, and hence I know most of the people andpeople know me. I also give talks and host workshops for free.
At the conference I go to we always sit together in small groups and do network mapping exercises.

Identify your Network and ask yourself the following:
Where do you have gaps?
How has this changed over time?
Who would you like to see in a different ring on the map?
Who should you reconnect with?Who can you move out of your network?

The core of donor acquisition is about understanding your audience, sending out a
convincing message, providing value and building a donor-
focused approach.

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS:Step 1: Use the Network Tracker to start documenting the names and communication preferences of your existing supporters. To make a copy of the spreadsheet, select “File” → “Make a copy.” Please don’t share your started/completed spreadsheet in the FB group. All donor information is private information that should not be shared.Step 2: Draft a personalized message to a supporter you think would be excited to fundraise on behalf of either you and/or your organization. The purpose of your message is to inspire your supporter to take action and commit to fundraising during the giving season by starting a GlobalGiving fundraiser. Remember to:
- Be personal and make your supporter feel special. Tell them how much of a difference their support has made. - Be clear in your ask - “I’m reaching out because I think you would make an incredible fundraiser, and I’d love your help during the busy
giving season. Are you interested? If so…”- Make it known that if they are up for the challenge, you will provide them with a toolkit (email templates, easy-to-forward messages
with pictures and case studies, sample social media posts, handouts, fact sheets, and blogs).
