Tips & Ideas for Fundraising
Social Media Challenge: Use social media as a way to interact with others close to the cause and to promote your fundraising efforts. Encourage your friends to share your fundraising page - maybe offer to make a $5 donation in the name of anyone who shares your page or their own story (A great way to encourage participation if you were already going to make some donations).
Hashtag Challenges: Hashtags are a great way to engage with your network! Use #sluhday to promote their positive impact and to share reasons why being a fundraising champion is important to you.
Popular Hashtags
- sluhday: Expand the reach of your fundraising page by inserting yourself into the sluhday conversation! Your posts will be searchable by anyone looking to be involved in the statewide giving celebration
Graphics
Utilize the suite of social share image on the St. Louis U. High Day website to make your fundraising posts stand out on social media.
You can also enhance your own personal photos using free online editing resources like Canva. Personalized graphics will highlight your story to make a greater impact when reaching out to friends and family through email and social media. And including the link to your fundraising page, the organization's name, and the St. Louis U. High Day hashtag on your image will make the graphic an even more powerful tool for fundraising!
