CHARITY& SOCIAL MEDIA
August 2011
OBJECTIVE:FUNDRAISING
Fundraising
Raising money through social media is notoriously hard
Digital Death Campaign
Great on paper.But the money didn’t roll in very
quickly.
Even with Gaga on board...
Most popular person on
Twitter(11.6 million
followers)
41,803,483 Facebook
fans
2nd most viewed YouTube video of all time
Nice stunt but:
• No compelling call to action
• No reward for participation
• Not how people use the channels
This might change over time
e.g. Donors choose.org have made a map that shows donation “arrows” arriving at their destination over time; an iPhone app that collects and displays local projects in need of support; and a service that suggests projects to recommend to Twitter followers based on their location.
American Red Cross
• Ran a really successful fundraising campaign for Haiti that was integrated with their social media channels.
• Over $5 million raised through SMS.
They made it easy to donate
