Back-to-school season is a great time for successful fundraising! As the rhythm of daily life resumes and organizations regroup after the summer break, administrators can leverage this moment to supercharge their fundraising efforts. Whether you’re planning short-term campaigns with specific targets or aiming to invigorate long-term initiatives, now is your moment to shine. With the period between back-to-school and the holidays being a prime fundraising window for many groups, the time to act is now. Boost fundraising and generate excitement by showcasing FundScrip’s retailer promotions. The fundamental message is clear: supporters purchase gift cards for their routine expenses while your group reaps the benefits of up to 5% additional earnings on each gift card sold. It’s a win-win!


Top Strategies to Amplify Your Fundraising Drive:


Share, share, share!

Harness the influence of social media, newsletters, and face-to-face interactions to broadcast your cause. Keep your supporters informed about exclusive promotions and how these initiatives contribute even more to your group’s success.

Maintain Consistency

Ensure your message resonates effectively by maintaining a steady stream of content. Crafting a publication calendar guarantees that you stay on track with your communication goals. Consistency breeds engagement and reinforces your fundraising endeavours.

Organize Group Orders

Consider organizing a group order while weaving promotions into your core message. Educate your members and supporters about the gift cards that offer enhanced benefits to your fundraiser. By aligning your promotions with your key messaging, you create a compelling narrative that encourages participation.

Introduce Bundles and Themes

Inject enthusiasm into your campaign by suggesting bundles and themes. Peruse the promotions available and guide your audience toward purchasing multiple gift cards as a package. For example, inspire them with a theme like “Fun Fall Family Activities,” suggesting a day at the mall filled with shopping, lunch, a Build-A-Bear Workshop®, and a popcorn snack to seal the deal.


Current Promotions

Harness the back-to-school season’s energy and FundScrip’s retailer promotions to elevate your fundraising goals. Implement these strategies to ignite enthusiasm, build engagement, and drive support for your cause. As you empower your group with additional earnings and spark the interest of your supporters, you’ll set the stage for a successful fundraising campaign this back-to-school season.
