Online Giving day

If you’re on a fixed budget or timeframe, a one-day online fundraiser is one of the best charity event ideas for your organization. At their best, they rally communities, transform supporters into advocates, and raise money for causes. Sounds good, right?

Many desktop publishing packages and web page

First, choose a day that means something to your organization or those you help. Catalogue for Philanthropy made use of Giving Tuesday Now (a national fundraising day to support nonprofits through COVID) to hype up their own one-day giving event online. Unlike many other nonprofits, Catalogue for Philanthropy used the day to raise dollars for over 200 local nonprofits in their area. 

• Find a location and work with the town to organize event details.
• File for a permit to block off the roads
• Obtain city and police approval for the event
• Include registration forms and waivers on your event page
• Measure and map your walk route

Giving Tuesday Now’s marketing

With the help of Giving Tuesday Now’s marketing, Catalogue for Philanthropy shared information about their event and the many nonprofits it was supporting leading up to the event. They asked each nonprofit to create a fundraiser page on CauseVox, which allowed dozens of nonprofits to work together to share their unique missions and market an exciting giving day together.
