What are you doing to make the giving spirit of Chanukah and the coming end of the tax year work for your fundraising efforts? Now is the perfect time to put into practice what you’ve pushed off until now. Yes, it’s late, but not too late. You can set up your own e-newsletter campaign in a few days and have your message out to your supporters before the end of Chanukah and the fiscal year for tax deductible donations. During this time of the year, people are looking for the best place to give their donation dollars to. Give them a reason and an easy way to choose you!
With user friendly online programs like constantcontact.com, you can upload the email addresses of your supporters and send them a short message. Update them on your activities and successes and ask them for help with an easy way to donate online with a few clicks.
Still not convinced? Consider this: People want to give to a worthy cause. Many organizations do utilize the e-newsletter to solicit funds, if you aren’t in their inbox, someone else will be. Read this for an excellent example of an effective campaign. Contact Shoshanna to discuss getting yourself online and into your donors’ inbox.
PayPal Can Now Link with Israeli Bank Accounts- Why this matters to you
PayPal is recognized world wide as a safe and secure way to purchase and donate online. Linked to one’s bank account or credit card, the user can, with a few clicks of the mouse, make purchases or donate to online fundraising campaigns. This makes buying or donating very easy for a PayPal user.
Until very recently, Israeli organizations had to have an American bank account to use PayPal for online donations, eliminating many smaller amutot from using the well known and trusted service. Now, with the ability to link an account with an Israeli bank account, there is NO excuse for not having a Donate Now button on your website homepage and enewsletters!
