Fundraising is not an easy process. Looking for people who actually care enough to help out might be harder than you think, but once you find a good number of people who constantly make efforts to help your campaign, like your FundScrip supporters, it’s easier to achieve your goals. When you’ve been fundraising for a while, you can get used to people helping you, but you should never take their help for granted. That is why it’s so important to say thank you and really mean it. Those supporters are the ones that make your goals achievable and you should cherish that. Here are a couple of easy and cheap ideas to say thank you that are not just a plain email.

A successful fundraiser is all about motivated supporters. When you start managing your FundScrip campaign, you soon realize that ordering consistently is a must for your supporters. It sometimes can be hard to keep them motivated to make efforts for their group. The best tip we can give you is to keep them informed of the campaign’s progress. By doing that, your supporters will know that their efforts are worth it and by setting up a fundraising goal, they will be even more exciting to participate and get closer to reaching them.

Aylmer Full Gospel Church raised $20,592.82 with their FundScrip campaign. Group administrators Sue Dekraker and Sue Spiering launched the program about seven years ago. Their focus is to get everyone at their church to buy gift cards for their groceries on a regular basis; since everyone has to buy food, it's really a win-win.

One of the keys to a successful FundScrip campaign is ordering consistently. In order to make a difference in your group, you have to order every week and pay for your everyday expenses with gift cards. People sometimes tell us that the donations are small and it’s not worth the effort. But, imagine if everyone in your group ordered every week, all the small amounts will add up and you will raise a lot of money for your cause by the end of the year!

MONTREAL, Oct. 4, 2016 /CNW/ - Fundstream Inc. announced today the introduction of reloadable gift cards available to all FundScrip users. In a Canadian first, gift card fundraising users will be able to purchase plastic gift cards, view their real-time card balances, and reload their cards in their FundScrip Wallet as many times as desired. Users can choose to purchase cards from an initial list of 3 participating retailers including Esso, Cara's Ultimate Dining Card and Metro Grocery Stores in Quebec. Reloadable gift cards offer increased convenience for users who can avoid shipping fees and delivery delays. Additionally, these cards are more environmentally-friendly since a single card gets re-used many times.
