I have learned effective social media fundraising strategies. Thank you philanthropy University and kevita
I have heard about crowdfunding for years but never really understood the ins and outs of it. The lesson in this module really gave me a good idea of what CF is and how my organization can utilize CF for our fundraising program. I look forward to starting my first CF campaign!
Exactly! So much good information in this module!
I look forward to finding the best platform for my org and starting my first crowdfunding campaign!
I think the tip about creating a community so donors and potential donors can feel like they belong and they are a part of a group is very interesting.
We try to do that by sharing show cases from our organization! It feels like the donors or potential donors get to know the stories of the people they are helping by donating.
This is a really important idea, specifically because social media can overload their users with information.
I am grateful for learning how important is to create a community with our donors. Also, to reinforce a belonging sense for improving my outcomes in online crowdfunding.
One of the strategies I learned in this module is that we must take advantage of social networks to generate a community of followers, in addition to being able to raise awareness in society, create a communication system with donors, volunteers and other stakeholders.
The best strategy I heard on the podcast is that we should take advantage of social networks to create an active community of volunteers and future donors. That we should always generate questions of interaction among all
be clear
Make summary.
Show the mission.
Create community.
To interact.
Take advantage of social networks to communicate about my mission, and my fundraising campaigns.
Yes, there are some valid points being made here. I think, and this is just my opinion, that a lot more work needs to be done to bring this crowdfunding idea into fruition and bring it to market. But it is a good start!
Yes, you make some very good points! I also think that social media has great potential, even with all its short comings, to facilitate authentic communications and community building. Using crowdfunding as a tool to communicate your program and raise funds, is a great combination.
I thought using social media as a communication tool, in this case in finding funding for a program, is a great way to both raise needed funds and communicate the work you are doing. Additionally, it brings regular people into the mix and allows them to join projects they believe in! A great dynamic!
Yes, crowdfunding allows us to both communicate our work, connect with people we might otherwise not be able to connect with, and raise funds at the same time. I think the whole concept of crowdfunding, assuming it is done with good/open intentions, is wonderful and I look forward to putting my first campaign together! I wish you the best with your work!

The session is interesting.
Creating cause-based community and doing crowdfunding was the best part.
les réseaux sociaux offrent la possibilité de toucher plus de monde et sans frontière , c'est simplement impressionnant
Not useful in directly mobilizing donors - important new information for me.
Good points about using it appropriately. I did not consider LinkedIn appropriate for fundraising (although I have provided information as a professional). I will look to see what others have done in this regard for charity work.
It was great and will help me alot
Thanks
I think, one of best practices is sharing the ressults of interventions or activities, to raise awareness about the organization
learnt that social media should majorly be used in building a sense of belonging; and explaining the goals of your project
I learned that social media is not used to directly convert contacts into donors but rather to create a sense of belonging and community
Perfect, had the exact same learning
In the podcast they shared some new insight on how to create an online community through social media.
Social media is a great way to communicate with the outside world. You can share goals as well as celebrating when you have accomplished those goals.
Actually, after this module i can see and everybody see if you do your campaign well and target the right people all over network with a detailed short video that can show that your foundation deserve trust and has a good reputation combined with great touchable services we can see social media nowadays can be the most viral successful way to built your foundation and serve the world with good services .
thank you professor a great course with a great added value for our minds.
Social media is really a great way to find funders. I have learnt that engagement and clear stories help attract donors

I've not done much with crowdfunding.
My experience with crowdfunding is limited.
I understand that crowdfunding helps in keeping donors engaged - by allowing them to focus on a specific need.
Crowdfunding is an art i guess.
The idea of pairing an in-person event with an online fundraising campaign on a themed day related to your cause is very interesting!
One tip I learned was the need to mix offline activities with online crowdfunding activities. If we have a multi-country crowdfunding campaign, for example, having an in-person event in each country can help mobilize more donors or at least spread our story locally.
I have learnt that one of the biggest misunderstanding about social media is that it can be used to convert contacts into donors, and that you need to create a community of donors.
The greatest tip I've learned was the smart goal plan which I'll be applying now to make fundraising successful
I didn't know that you can use social media to raise funds before
I really love this. Awesome.
I learnt that creating a very SMART goals, storytelling with clear images and messages as well as network mapping is very critical to fundraise on internet
This is a very insightful module that has the potential of raising resources
I have appreciated the presentation by Kavita on crowdfunding. It has really been insightful. I will put it into practice
crowdfunding is a broad category of fundraising
This course is very informative av learnt a lot
i love this topic
crowdfunding is so lucrative.
crowdfunding is very important for all organizations seeking funds
crowdfunding exposes you to lots of donors
crowdfunding is so important and a cheap way for an organization to mobilize funds
I acquired applicable knowledge in fundraising strategies
It is a real creative challenge to put on an online proposal a more emotional and personal side...
This course is amazing 😍
Her examples and stories are really helpful. Thanks Tom for that interview
same here
I agree with you.
the social media best pratice i learnt is that stories are very important
Great Work!

It is much easier to grow using online fundraising because it enables you to reach a large audience.
Great. It will help you to get more donors
I learned how effective it is to fundraise online rather than offline in order to reach a broad audience
It sure is
I didn't know that there are sites to actually help you raise funds for your projects
It is important to use social media as a visibility tool as much as using it for direct conversion.
This is something that I took away for myself as well.
I have an extendd experience in enternet based crouwd funding which we runned for 3 months and collected more than 3000 dollar.
Using one of the social media influencers can be a way of getting fund for your organization, and or initiatives. Not only this but also, you can use your own channel in Youtube or other web to show the needs and the cases, this will let people and donors know the impact you have left behind.

This is amazing. Also posting reports and sharing photos of the work done can demonstrate the success to others how the the efforts made change, also it clarifies to people how your mission is so true.
It would be so good, you share these sites here, so those who read can refer to and start the way forward.
Thank you kavita. I really enjoyed this course.
Awesome course. Raising awareness is always a great way to start before asking money
Using social media as a fundraising strategy:
1- The best way to communicate with donors is on Twitter because most of the senior management in the big donor use Twitter for easy use and easily putting the shortest and most focused points.
2- Try to get two to three big donors and used that to promote your organization.
3- build a strong website without too much color and too much information.
4- Try to be involved in the global donor meeting for your country or area.
5- Cluster meetings as well is the best to know the newest projects' needs from donors and to get new ideas for future projects.
I agree with you, I am so happy that now I am empowered to fundraise for my non profit
Social media is really powerful but you have to master it's use to get the best out of it.

Offer rewards: Offer rewards or incentives to encourage people to donate to your campaign. These can be anything from early access to your product or service to personalized gifts.
Promote your campaign: Promote your campaign on social media, through email marketing, and by reaching out to your network of family and friends. It's important to build momentum early on and keep your supporters engaged throughout the campaign.
Follow up and show gratitude: Once the campaign is over, follow up with your supporters and show gratitude for their contributions. Keep them updated on the progress of your project or venture, and continue to engage with them over time.
Great, very concise and straight to the point.

Of course ,this lesson is very helpful to me and others fundraisers as it provides more details explanation of crowdfunding via social media,the importance of online and offline fundraising .the Best online social media for me now that I could recommend is email address.
Crowdfunding is a very crucial technique to raise funds.
Using social media as a support for crowd funding. when thinking about it goes so much deeper than i thought. Of course you can create the crowdfunding page and share it with social media. but then taking that social media and building a community is the next step that I had never thought of.
