Some of the most successful operations have used one method for years that consistently helps drive donations higher, and keeps them coming in. You probably guessed it: Travel Vouchers. Take Kars4Kids.org as an example: If someone donates a car to their organization, Kars4Kids sends this person a travel voucher in the mail. I’ve got to believe that since this page has been online for over 2 years, it’s working for them. We’ve also seen numerous other organizations using our 3 day 2 night getaway vouchers for the exact same purpose, whether to increase donation size, or just start getting people to donate.

It is now the end of April and the finish line is in sight!

After weeks of getting bids from print companies and mailing houses Glitter2Green has finally begun to receive our materials and the process of packaging and preparing them for mailing has started!

We cannot begin to tell you how much fun Glitter2Green had affixing NCCF’s logo to a plethora of zip lock bags!

Typically the best fundraisers are those that are easy to implement, organize, and get a large return on investment.

That’s why it is a great idea to work with Glitter2Green, our method of fundraising is zero-cost, and zero-hassle for non-profits.

Not to mention the potential for returns are great and we do all the work!

  1. We send an email to your supporters using a third-party, bonded mailing house, urging them to contribute to your non-profit by purchasing a 3 day 2 night travel voucher.
  2. Using the link in the email, your supporters purchase a voucher on our site, 90% of the proceeds go to your charity.
  3. Once a month, your organization’s tracking id on the emails will be tallied and money sent to your organization.
  4. Your organization will also be provided a monthly report showing supporters’ names and the amount they donated. This allows you to send appropriate thank you notes and receipts.
  5. Your aid organization can continue to provide hope and assist those in need.

For more information on any of these steps please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.

The simple fact is that what used to work is no longer producing the results non-profits need to support their missions.

When your charity decides to work with Glitter2Green, we will reach out to your supporters and inform them that there is another way to help without donating cash or time and that is by donating their broken, outdated gold, silver and platinum jewelry.

Your supporters will be eager to participate due to the multiple benefits that come from donating scrap jewelry.

First, they can finally get rid of that lonesome earring that has been missing its match for five years, collecting dust in their jewelry box and basically doing nothing for them.

Second, by donating that one earring they capture a tax write-off that can be used to decrease their tax liability.

And lastly, but most importantly, they will be helping a cause they love by doing something so simple – getting rid of something they never use and will not miss.

If you are interested in working with Glitter2Green to present this opportunity to your supporters please do not hesitate to contact us.

In turn, you will be helping your supporters with their spring cleaning!

You may be wondering how we will do this: raise money and clean at the same time.

Well simply put, we work with your organization to secure donations of all that old, broken gold, silver and platinum jewelry that is cluttering up your supporters’ jewelry boxes!

Glitter2Green does all the heavy lifting when it comes to this fundraiser. We create all the materials to request donations from your supporters and nothing is printed without your organization’s prior approval.

In fact, all your organization has to do is provide your mailing list to a third party mailing house that is licensed, bonded and has experience handling mailing lists and distributing materials.

We know that your mailing list is very valuable, that is why we work with a third party mailing house – Glitter2Green will never see or have access to your list.

Please visit our site for more information and to see if your organization qualifies!

- Format your letter in a simple easy to read way. Be sure that you indent each paragraph, make paragraphs around 7 lines long, use bullets rather than long lists in sentences, and use subheads if the letter is long.

- Give readers a reason to send the money now. Create a sense of urgency with a deadline so they are more motivated to take action asap.

Easy Fundraising Ideas:

Fundraiser letters are very different from brochures and press releases. They are an attempt to reach people on a personal level and get them to join you in fighting for a cause through donations. For many, fundraiser letters are the only contact you will have with the public in an effort to raise money so you want to make sure your letter is professional and done correctly. Here are a few tips to help you in creating an effective letter that is sure to help you connect with potential donors.

1. Use “”I”" and “”You”" but MOSTLY “”YOU.”" Relax and imagine you are writing this letter to another individual or well-known acquaintance. Using these pronouns helps to engage the reader.

2. Focus on benefits, not needs. Explain what donating will do to benefit them. Focusing on you and your needs will disengage the reader and they’ll lose interest.

3. Ask for MONEY, not support. Be clear that you want their donation, not just their happy thoughts. You may want to repeat varied phrases of what you are looking for.

4. Don’t just write a letter. Be sure that your letter is sent as a multi-piece unit that includes an outer envelope, a reply envelope, a reply device, as well as the letter. The easier you make it on the donors, the more response you’ll get back.

Fundraising for a large non-profit organization can be overwhelming. It is a lot of work, but if you take it one step at a time you can get everything you need to done in a timely manner without too much stress. If you are new to fundraising for a non-profit use these six steps as a guideline to help you get started on the right foot.

1. Develop your fundraising goals:How much money do you need to raise? What will
you use the money for? Do you need it for a new facility or new programs or to pay off
any debt?

2. Write down your fundraising plan. You should have a plan for each goal you have. Writing it down will keep you organized. Just because it is written down, doesn’t mean it is permanent! Make room for revisions and changes as they are sure to happen.

3. Estimate how much your fundraising plan will cost. Be sure to account for all the details from managing your volunteers all the way down to your postage fees for the mailings.

4. Develop a timeline for your plan. Don’t allow yourself to procrastinate! Start planning early and make sure every task is scheduled to be finished plenty before necessary to prepare for any surprises.

5. Identify funding sources. Can  you produce more income through certain sources? Are you tapping all available audiences? Have you received foundation grants?

6. Evaluate your fundraising plan throughout the year. Develop a criteria by which you can evaluate your fundraising efforts such as amount raised, number of new donors, or contact with certain foundations. Finding mistakes will only help you improve!
