Today marks the first in a new series of blog posts that will include hints and tips from a "JG Insider" to help you use the Charity Account and other features of the Justgiving site.
To start, we’re going to look at one of the basic, but often overlooked or unknown, actions you can do on the site: see all fundraisers for your charity.
If we take Salah Rahman Sports Foundation (SRSF) as our example and go to their fundraising area, you will see a search box on the right under the sample page image:
As it says, you can search for specific names or see all the fundraisers for that charity: it’s a quick and easy way of taking a high level view of your supporters’ efforts on Justgiving.
No log-ins are needed, just click on the link and find out what all your fundraisers are doing.
The search results for all SRSF fundraisers can be seen here.
Why not promote this link on your website too – if you want to offer supporters a choice of who to sponsor, this is a great way to do so.
Furthermore, SRSF have done this in their email communications – the last email they sent to all their charity supporters included the link to all their fundraisers. You can read it here: Download support_salah_sports.doc
This is a great way of making a general appeal for donations specific by highlighting the efforts of their supporters and is more compelling than a simple donate link. Why not try it yourselves?
PS – in the unlikely event that you’re wondering who the JG Insider is, it’s me, Jonathan (Hello Mum).
