Asalaamualaikum, hope your all well & havin a blessed Ramadhan.
I am curently raising money for charity and needed some ADVICE OPINIONS, im sure someone can help?
1)Wat makes u give £ to charity
(wat words dig deep in you heart, then make you dig deep in ur pocket)?
2)Wat fundraising ideas/activities methods hav worked for u in the past?
3)Any other tips, advice, suggestions welcomed
(by the way charity is Orphan Care Home in Pakistan)
i would really appreciate your ideas, views, suggestions
amd look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Personally, I really dislike being guilt-tripped into giving money. So words that (artificially) 'dig deep' into my heart and pocket make me run away.
No idea about fundraising - just PLEASE don't make it FUNdraising and/or 'wacky'.
Mainly I care about money going directly through to the people it's intended for - i.e. not big organisations with a lot of bureaucracy/red tape. So maybe speaking to/hearing from the people who are ACTUALLY on the front-line (building/managing the orphanage or at least visiting it themselves) helps.
EDIT: if that fails, tell people the many ahadith about looking after orphans, and mention that the Prophet
himself was an orphan.
Don't just do something! Stand there.
I think she is more on about raising awareness - for the people there, most will dig into their pockets .Digging deep is not necessary, digging wide is - microdonations from many people can be greater than large donations from a few people.
"Eid Dinner"?
A few years ago when there was some violence in Kosovo, 'Ed did some money raising for there - an expensive dinner for people willing t pay.
And then the genius bit: with the left overs, go door to door, give them some food and mention why.
Was not there (or involved) but I hear the outcome was more than satisfactory.

you're raising money for Aaghosh aren't you? masha'Allah.
we have done many fundraising events and masha'Allah all have been very successful.
i'll send you a pm.
I think she sees what we mean.
Don't just do something! Stand there.
Show them the business plan.
Show what your charity has already done. Then show how it plans to do more for the future. This would make me think that my money would achieve concrete results and not just be useless. Then break your appeal into small units which cost a reletively small amount and "sell" the units to your audience.
If you show me concrete results, I'll believe in your work.
If you show me concrete plans, I'll feel optimistic about what you're doing.
If you make it easy for me to achieve a lot by spending a little, I'll probably pay up.
You are mean, I see.
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.
Through cheating, stealing, and lying, one may get required results but finally one becomes

pm means private message. When you sign in there should be a few options on the left hand-side, one of them is messages. If you investigate that you can send private messages.
You can introduce yourself on the new member's thread.
Good luck with the appeal.
