Fundraising Ideas:

1. Plan a Day of Giving – Celebrate an important March date of significance to your organization by coordinating a day of giving. This could the day that your organization was founded or another important milestone that not only can be a great way to raise funds but also highlight your organization.

2. Donate the Day – Simply pick a day of the month and ask people to make a gift an amount that matches the numeric value of the date that you picked. For example, March 4 is known as Do Something Day so ask your supporters to honor Do Something Day by setting up a monthly recurring donation in the amount of $3.40 or $34.00.

Other Growth-Hacking Tasks You Can Tackle in March:

1. Grow you email list by asking people to sign up for your newsletter or subscribe to your blog.

2. Write a blog post focusing on a success story, update on your organization or a staff member profile.

3. Update or refresh the content on your website. Regularly updating the content on your website will keep it fresh and enhance your on-page SEO.

The ideas listed are simple to set up, easy to execute and repeatable on a month-to-month basis. If you need some help getting organizing fill out the form below to receive a complimentary March Fundraising Planner.
