1. Share your Fundraiser on Social Media<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to share your fundraiser with the public to attract potential donors. You can reach a large audience base through social media. Ask your friends and family to share your post to help your audience grow tenfold. Write a concise caption that highlights your fundraiser story. Add photos and a fundraiser link.

After you complete your fundraiser and meet your donation goal, be sure to thank everyone who helped you get there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Host a Dinner at a Local Restaurant <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hosting a dinner is a great way to get together with your loved ones. You can reach out to a local restaurant of your choice to host a dinner in light of your fundraiser. Ask the restaurant if they want to donate a percentage to your house fire relief fund. It may be good to propose a minimum cost for the bill to get them onboard. You can also share the fundraiser dinner on social media to give the restaurant some buzz in return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Reach out to Local Media<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Local media outlets can bring attention to your house fire fundraiser. Find a local media outlet, like a newspaper, T.V. channel, or radio station. Create a contact list to reach out and see if they will share your fundraiser story. Consider what information is most important to include when you pitch your story. You can also bring photos and videos to add more content to your story. Broadcasting your fundraiser to your community is a good way to reach a large audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Host a Community Event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can host different types of events to raise money for house fire victims. For example, you can host a garage sale for neighbors to donate items to victims.

Promote your fundraising event so people know to save the date.  Execute your event idea and make it easy for attendees to donate. A fundraising event can be an interactive way for donors to help victims receive financial aid after a house fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Collaborate with Influencers <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Collaborating with influencers is another social media fundraising strategy. Marketing Dive<\/a> reported that 69% of consumers trust influencers over information that comes directly from a brand. This is why influencers have the power to persuade their fan base. Identify the right type of influencer to partner up with. You’re best off targeting a micro-influencer who is more likely to agree to a partnership without payment. Do your best to prepare all materials before<\/a> you approach an influencer. This makes it easier for them to collaborate with you because most of the work is done. Give them photos and videos from before and after the house fire to share on their social media. This partnership can influence their followers to engage with your fundraiser and donate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
