Try A Virtual Chinese Auction.

Posted on by

Try a virtual Chinese Auction. Raising charitable funds with a virtual Chinese auction. Every year the Parents of my good friends host an amazing Chinese Auction at their home. The cause is extremely worthwhile and the assortment of prizes is really great. Several weeks before the event I stuff charity money in a secret pocket so that I can bid on as many prizes as possible.

This year because of the pandemic the charity was certain that they would postpone the event. I protested heavily and this is what I suggested. Let’s Raise funds with a Chinese auction via Zoom. I explained to them how it works.

Donors are free to buy as many tickets as they want in the virtual fishbowl.

Donors are free to buy as many tickets as they want in the virtual fishbowl. At the close of the auction period, the winning ticket for each auction item is then drawn from the corresponding bowl.

Obviously, the more tickets a person deposits in the bowl, the higher the percentage chance that they’ll win the item. That means that highly desirable items will draw a lot of tickets, just as they would draw a lot of bids in a regular Chinese auction.

There is no doubt about it during COVID -19 nonprofits have to use some ingenuity to get by.

Nonprofits are having a very hard time raising money since there is a lot less going around. Therefore an online Chinese auction makes a great fundraiser that is not hard on donors’ pockets. YouHelp.com suggests getting practical prizes that people would normally buy but are holding back because of the uncertainty of the times.

The newest models of cellphones and gaming are always great prizes for such an auction

The newest models of cellphones and gaming are always great prizes for such an auction. New appliances for the kitchen and decorative furnishings are also great prizes.

And having lots of ticket buyers means your group will do very well!

Online Zoom Chinese auction is a bit different than normal Chinese auctions.

It is important to get a very talented zoom host who is both entertaining and knows how to reinvent himself with Zoom. I am amazed to see how so many charities have been so creative with raising money with zoom.

Make sure to promote your event on Facebook and Instagram. You can use cool pictures like these to grab donors’ interest.

Nonprofits are reporting higher levels of participation than normal Chinese auctions

Nonprofits are reporting higher levels of participation than normal Chinese auctions. The main reason being that donors are so bored at home they are actually excited about joining even if it is only virtually!

Normally a nonprofit will have to find a sponsor for light catering. With an online zoom auction, nonprofits treat the visitors with coupons at their local Chinese take out, as a warm gesture for showing up.

Hope For Nonprofits With Recurring Donations

Posted on by

Hope for nonprofits with recurring donations. Just imagine for a moment starting 2021 with your organization’s hard costs already covered! Many nonprofits may not have heard of the wonderful new fundraising strategy.

Did you know that 45% of worldwide donors are enrolled in a monthly giving program?

A reoccurring donations campaign works as follows. Instead of asking donors for a one-time gift of $100 you ask him for a monthly gift of $10. This option is a win-win for both sides. The nonprofit gains an extra $20 annually. It also gains a steady monthly income. Besides, a few weeks before the year is up you kindly ask for a renewal.

From the donor’s side, this option is much better as well. He probably won’t even feel the monthly $10 charge like he would the $100 charge. Donors can understand the need for this type of donation since it relieves fundraising pressure and it allows the organization to focus on its vital work.

Make sure that your reoccurring donors are placed on a separate email list. You should also make sure to send a monthly or quarterly update on your organization’s progress. The updates should include both the past activities and future activities. This way your donors feel that every month their donation is making a difference.

Another great idea for nonprofits is to categorize recurring donors as a sort of VIP donor.
