Thank you Britt Bravo!! Britt is an amazing person - the most efficient woman on earth, an fantastic blogger, and all-around fun to be with! She her day job is to blog and she does a terrific job at NetSquared and BlogHer. Her personal blog , Have Fun Do Good, is a must read. (Check out the photo of my kids wearing one of her blog t-shirts)
I was concerned at one point that the donations I'd received from these sorts of campaigns might be "transactional" - in that new donors to my charity would only contribute once and that was that. But, Britt is repeat donors. Again, as all fundraisers know, donor stewardship important. You can't say thank you enough.
Context
Contribute to my latest personal fundraising campaign to support Leng Sopharath, an orphan from Cambodia, for her junior year at college. My family has sponsored her college costs for her freshman and sophomore years.
Coming up with the $1,000 donation to the Sharing Foundation which manages the program is a stretch. That's why I'm asking for my friends on Facebook and beyond to help. If 100 Facebook friends (or their friends) donate $10 (or more - so I can get back to regularly scheduled blogging on other topics and client work) and spread the word to their friends, we can change her life forever!
But don't take my word for it. Over the summer, I had an opportunity to meet her in person. In her dorm room, she had photos of our family and my letters to her on the wall. She spoke about how much our support makes a difference in her life.
To make it more enticing, if you are among the first 30 to contribute, I'll add you as a top friend on my Facebook profile. (Only if the app works, your privacy settings don't prevent it, and of course, we're become friends.) All contributors will be graciously thanked on my blog. I'm, of course, experimenting with person-to-person fundraising on Facebook and I'll share my learnings here.
What a deal for $10 or more! Donate now. Spread the word! Share this link on your Facebook profile.
