Creating Updates

Whether through your GiveSendGo campaign page, social media, or email, it's crucial to keep your supporters informed about the progress of your campaign. After all, they've chosen to invest in you and your idea, so you should invest in them too! Here are some tips on when you should update your supporters throughout, as well as some suggestions for writing a great campaign update.

Fundraising Progress and New Developments

Keep your supporters updated on your fundraising progress and new developments. Sharing milestones and updates shows that you appreciate their support and investment in your mission. By doing so, you also increase visibility for your campaign and might attract new supporters.

Thanking and Recognizing Supporters

Express your gratitude often and show appreciation for your supporters. They've made an impact on your life through their donations, so it's essential to acknowledge their help. A simple update with a "thank you" message goes a long way in communicating your appreciation.

Personal Stories

People want to see the heart and drive behind your campaign's mission, so sharing your story is crucial. People connect with stories, especially ones they can relate to, so don't be afraid to be vulnerable. Doing so might inspire someone to start their own campaign or increase support for yours.

Sharing Links Related to Your Campaign

Sharing your campaign with local news organizations can increase awareness of your mission. If they cover your story, share the article or video link in an update on your GiveSendGo campaign page. You can also share your social media platforms to keep supporters updated.

Explaining How the Funds Will Be Used

To increase confidence in giving, keep your supporters informed about how their donations will be used. Share details about where the money will go and how it will benefit the cause. Be as specific as possible to build trust with your supporters.

Images, Photos, and Videos

A photo or video update is an excellent way to connect with supporters on a personal level. Share a glimpse into your life or the impact of their donations, which helps build a deeper connection and strengthens support for your campaign.

Keeping your supporters updated with these strategies is a sure way to build a stronger community around your campaign and increase the chances of it being successful.
