One of the most common ways for people going on mission trips to raise money has been to send out mission trip fundraising letters in the hope that people will contribute money. So that lead most of the people doing mission trip fundraising to ask about what kinds of things to put into these fundraising letters and about the best ways to use them.
As with any church fundraisers that you might do, a mission trip fundraising letter needs to include a detailed description of what kind of work you will be doing. The better you can describe what you will be doing and exactly how the money you are raising will help you and how it will be put to work is the most basic thing to do when writing these letters. If you have pictures of work your mission trip team has done in the past that you can include, or at least stories about the impact you have had in the past, that can go a long way as well.
As we helped more and more mission trip teams though we realized that there had to be a better way for them to raise the money they needed than selling products or sending out fundraising letters and with that in mind we created the Online Donation Fundraiser. This system allows you to approach people in a number of ways that are at least as personal as the mission trip fundraising letters and that offer much better results.
The most personal contact method this program offers is the donation request card. It is about the size of a business card and has instructions for people for how to find your donation page. You can use these cards to go door to door contacting people about helping fund your mission trip but instead of the awkwardness of asking for money right away, this gives people a chance to really think about helping you. Plus, since it is a credit card based system, people who do not have cash can still make a donation.
Another way to use this system that more closely resembles the old mission trip fundraising letters is our email system. The system allows you to schedule and send customizable emails to your contacts explaining your fundraiser and asking for donations. It can even be set up to remind the people who haven’t donated yet that you still haven’t met your goal. The system will also send thank you notes out to everyone who does donate.
Less work and better results – what could be better for your mission trip fundraiser than that?
