Why should I be concerned about Fundraising 2.0?• People give to friends, colleagues and people they know
• People give to causes not to institutions
• Leverage your donors/volunteers creatively and make them ambassadors of your organization
• Acquire more donors for your organisations
• Also builds greater awareness for your cause and a chance to create ambassadors of today’s donors
• More funds for you…
• …at very low cost to you

Informal Events – An Introduction • Peer-to-Peer fundraising is personal . Its about people
• Its about sharing personal stories & journeys
• Important to state the reasons for getting involved & what engaged them
• Reason for raising funds

Informal Events – What Fundraisers have to say (1/2)
“I wanted to do some good to society and give a chance to family and friends to donate. I used the GiveIndia donation as gift, so that lead to this option. I am happy that it raised something which I am sure will make some difference.”
Raj Kalakota used iGive to celebrate his son's first birthday
Kakoli Dey set up an iGive page to commemorate her grandmother's death anniversary.
“My love for my grand mom and my love for the NGO I work for have motivated me to create this page. Raising funds whatsoever the cause is a bit tough but this is a fantastic way of asking for fund!”
Chandramouli Venkatesan set up an iGive page as he wanted to make a difference to the underprivileged:
“The elderly homeless in India can use every rupee that we raise. I was amazed at the number of people who contributed and also people who I did not know well also responded to the appeal.”

Informal Events – What Fundraisers have to say (2/2)
“We knew that in our weddingcard if we were to just write "no gifts", it would not dissuade people from getting gifts. If we gave them something else to "give", they would at least get that satisfaction. And this way, we could start our life together with the blessings of our extended family."
Uday and Shweta Khankhoje received gifts for charity on their wedding day
- As did Megha and Karam.
“GiveIndia provided a perfect solution - a gift our friends would be happy to give and that we would be happy to accept too. Most of our friends were very happy with our decision and donated generously. ”

How to raise funds - yourself and through your supporters (8/8)
Feel free to share this slide with supporters who raise funds for you. You may also carry this information on your website. This is what supporters can do -1. Send a personalised appeal message/email to your networks, which
contains a prominent call-to-action. Tell all exactly how the money they give will be used and what impact it will have.
2. Spread the word along with a brief description of what you're raising funds for on whichever social networking site you use, such as Facebook or Orkut. Lots of people take the time to read what their friends are doing.
3. Do you have a blog? Dedicate a post or two to your fundraising efforts. Don’t forget to mention why you support the cause.
4. Don't give up after the first mail; many of your friends may need a gentle reminder so send at least one follow-up mail.
5. Ask your spouse, siblings, parents and children to help you spread the word.
6. Still can't think of who to send the link to? How about your… cousinsneighbours, batchmates, colleagues, family friends, club/gym friends…
7. One last tip - after your page expires, don't forget to write to everyone who donated to you thanking them and telling them that they helped you succeed.
