Ep 29 – Arani Duggan: Creating an online fundraiser with impact
Jul 27, 2020
How to maximise your online fundraising campaign
Have you taken any big risks in your business lately?
Thanks to Covid-19, many of us have.
Well, think of all those Not-For-Profits out there who have previously relied upon big events to meet their annual fundraising targets.
With social distancing being forced upon us, they had two options – admit defeat or find new ways to raise money.
For Ronald McDonald House Charities, giving up was not an option. The Greater Western Sydney fundraising team put on their thinking caps and came up with the ‘Dance for Sick Kids’ online fundraiser – with big dreams of raising around $30,000.
But the final result was way, way beyond their wildest expectations!
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Arani Duggan – Head of Marketing and Fundraising at Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney.Being part of the fundraiser myself and watching the dollar figures skyrocket, I knew I had to get Arani onto the show and talk about how and why their online fundraiser made such an impact.
If you’ve thought about doing online fundraisers for your business or Not-For-Profit, keep listening for some wonderful insight!
