Who benefits from this fundraiser?

Raising Support is Easy!

The number one reason people don’t donate is because they were never asked. Helping animals is a cause that’s easy to rally around – and one that people will gladly support. The first step is asking! Below are a few suggestions to get your fundraising efforts started.

Make a list and check it twice.

Make a list of potential donors. Start by making a donation yourself; your gifts will set the tone for others to give. Ask people you do business with, co-workers, family, friends, neighbors.

Aim High!

Set an ambitious goal! Identify people who are interested in helping animals. They can help spread the word!

Ask every day.

Ask one person each day to make a contribution. If you get four $25 gifts, you’ll have raised $100 in less than a week! Don’t be afraid to ask for larger gifts. Most people are happy to donate if they can.

Honor an animal.

Let everyone know you’re walking in honor or in memoriam of a particular pet.

Talk it up.

Ask for a few minutes on the agenda of meetings you’ll be attending, Explain why you’re walking in the Walk for Animals and ask for everyone’s support. If you’re dedicating your efforts to a certain pet, tell that pet’s story.

Leave a message.

Change the message on your voicemail to include a mention of the walk for Animals and how callers can make a donation. When emailing family and friends, add a “P.S.” asking for their help.

Show it off.

Post a Walk for Animals poster in a visible place at your church, office, gym, school, or anywhere you go frequently.

Double your money.

Many employers offer matching gift programs. Your $50 donation could turn into $100 just by asking your personnel or human resources department.

Bring it along.

Take your Walk 4 Animals brochure everywhere you go, and ask everyone you interact with to sponsor you. Every meeting, trip to the grocery store, conversation, and get-together is a new opportunity.
