Promoting your donation fundraiser to parents is crucial because they play a significant role in encouraging or discouraging their children’s participation. Their involvement can lead to higher fundraising success.
The first step is to send materials home with students. This includes student kits that contain all necessary information for both parents and students on how to participate in the fundraiser.
Sending follow-up letters home each week keeps parents informed and engaged. A second-week letter reminds them of the campaign’s importance and encourages them to get their children involved. A third-week letter serves as a final reminder before the campaign ends.
Use this opportunity to raise awareness by posting signs, involving student volunteers to hold hand-held signs, and using a school mascot if available. This visibility can capture the attention of parents during busy times.
Ensure that your school’s website and any internal online platforms have links to your fundraising page and post frequent updates and notices about the campaign.
Utilize platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn to create regular posts about your fundraiser. Share updates, interesting facts, and progress towards goals to engage your network and encourage them to share the posts.
Class mothers or parent volunteers act as hubs for communication within their child’s class. They can motivate and mobilize other parents, making them crucial allies in boosting participation.
Use school newsletters, bulletins, and other forms of communication to continuously remind and update parents about the fundraiser. Regular communication helps keep the campaign top of mind.
Set up information tables and posters at school events like shows, sports games, and parent/teacher meetings to promote the fundraiser and provide details to parents.
In addition to the steps above, consider using incentives, creating a sense of competition, and recognizing top fundraisers to further motivate participation among students and parents.
