Fundraising Tips and Tricks

Return to ATLAS Ride

• Start early! Fundraising isn’t difficult but it does take some time. Try spending time each week promoting your fundraising page
• Make your appeal personal – why is this a cause that is important to you?
• Share “I Ride For” on social media and in emails using the “I Ride For” Image (CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD)
• Think about your network – it’s probably larger than you think! Clubs, organizations, faith-based group, your holiday card list are all potential donors that you can reach out to
• Don’t forget about employer matches
• Use your social media and email to promote your GiveSmart link and post often! Don’t be afraid to ask more than once – donors often need a reminder to donate
• Update your donors on your progress – how are your training rides going?
• If you reach your goal then set a higher one!
• Make sure to thank you donors!
