The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of COVID-19 Fundraising

Daryl Hatton, CEO of FundRazr

2020-2021 season fundraising looks different than previous seasons. In our latest webinar we are brainstorming together on how we can help fill some of the revenue gaps created from the event and gala cancellations.

In 2020 alone, Humboldt Area Center for Harm Reduction @hachr707 helped prevent 145 overdoses, distributed over 2,400 naloxone kits, and provided hygiene kits, hot food, and cold weather supplies to countless unhoused people in their community!
💜
Now, they're planning to step up their community outreach by launching a mobile harm reduction clinic. Operated out of a van, the new clinic will allow HACHR staff to travel far and wide across remote and urban parts of Humboldt County, including hard-to-reach and marginalized communities.
💜
They've already raised $8,050, over half of their $15,000 goal!
Here's how they did it:
✅ Detailed information on their mission and how they help
✅ Fun perks for donations, like printable Valentines
✅ Clear, tangible goal
💜
Amazing work, @hachr707! Learn more and donate at the link in our bio.

Since 2015, @yarrowsociety has been working with Chinese-speaking seniors in their community of Vancouver's Chinatown district, helping them access medical support, housing, income, and government services.

Right now, supporting one another is more important than ever. This year, Yarrow is raising $50,000 to organize, reduce isolation for seniors, and ensure access to health care during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

Here's how they did it:
✅Told the stories real seniors they've helped
✅Make donations tangible, such as "$10 will buy a bag of groceries"
✅Lots of pictures of volunteers and beneficiaries, plus beautiful art made to promote the campaign
✅Plenty of background information on Yarrow's mission to build credibility
💛
We're so inspired by the amazing work @yarrowsociety is doing! Get the full story at the link in our bio.

Prior to Alice's diagnosis, she was an international flight attendant and accomplished marathon runner. But #MultipleSclerosis changed all that, limiting how she could move and express herself in the world.
💛
When Alice saw the #Alinker on TV, she knew it would help her find new ways to enjoy life. With her crowdfunding campaign, she was able to raise $2,270 - more than enough to buy a new walking bike!
💛
Here's how she did it:
✅Partnership with @@the_alinker_world
✅Photos and videos to tell her story
✅Realistic goal

When @midwestpugrescue was asked to take in 12 dogs from a puppy mill in China, they knew they'd need support from their community. All of these dogs were bred to live in cages, or be sold to the meat markets in China.
🐶
With an emergency FundRazr campaign, @midwestpugrescue is raising enough money to fly these pugs and French bulldogs to the United States, and get them proper care and loving homes once they get here.
🐶
Their campaign has already raised $1,520! Here's how they did it:
✅Timely, urgent story of why these dogs need to be saved
✅Cute pictures help us connect to the animals
✅Micro-campaign to benefit a few dogs rather than their whole nonprofit

The historic bell tower is a beautiful highlight of @indianhillscollege 's campus. But now, its system is getting old, and if it's not replaced, the bell tower won't be able to ring any more.

From loss of jobs to barriers to education, the migrant and refugee community has been one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
🌍
@edmecocanada is raising money to support young migrant and refugee adults where they're at, especially with mental health support, meeting daily needs and continuing their education.
🌍
@edmecocanada knows how to help, because they've been there too. They were founded by young adults of different immigrant and refugee backgrounds, many of whom arrived in Canada as teenagers, speaking almost no English.
🌍
Their #FundRazr campaign has brought in $3,498 - but they have big plans to raise much more!
🌍
Here's how they did it:
✅Telling us exactly how donations will be spent
✅Sharing exactly how migrant youth have been affected by COVID-19
✅Being open about the charity's journey, and how they're survivors too
🌍
@edmecocanada, we're so inspired by your amazing story! Find out more at the link in our bio.
