8. TIPS TO RAISE PLEDGES
 
Charity Award Structure
Congratulations! You’re about to join thousands of other people in an event for charity. The money you raise through pledges may not seem like a lot to you, but will go a long way in improving the lives of the underprivileged.
Initially, you may feel a bit odd asking people for money. But remember, the money isn’t for you. So be proud of yourself for doing your bit to help. Keep in mind that many people want to do something but just never get around to it.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised to see how many respond very positively to your request. Take a few minutes to read these tips and see your collections jump!
  • Start your drive early.
  • Initially approach people you know well. Interacting with them and seeing their positive response will get you off to a good start and increase your confidence.
  • Make sure you ask as many people as possible; several small pledges can add up to a big amount.
  • Keep sharing your progress with people you’re approaching. For example, say “I”ve already raised Rs.2,600 but my target is Rs.3000. I hope you can help me.”
  • Be knowledgeable about the cause you’re supporting. Donors will respect that you have taken the time to find out how the money is going to help.
  • Remember to say thank you with a smile!
 
WHO TO ASK?
Everyone! Let everyone know that you will be participating in the event and encourage them to support you.

Remember to ask:

  • Family, in-laws, cousins
  • Friends
  • Co-workers
  • College batch mates
  • Neighbours
 

WHAT TO TELL YOUR DONORS?

  • That any money they give to your cause is tax deductible (for Indian donation only) and they will receive a receipt for it.
That their name will be listed as one of your pledgers on the Concern India Foundation website after the run.
 
HOW TO ASK?

The best way is to ask in person. But since that’s not always possible, here are a few other ways to approach donors.

  • First go through your contact list on your email, phone and your address book and make a list of potential donors. This may take 15 or 20 minutes but it is time well spent.
Now, send out your appeal. You can email, call, or even send text messages. Different people will respond to different ways. Don’t forget your friends and family abroad. They can donate too! And a $20 donation is about Rs.800 for your cause. Refer to our FAQ section on pledge-raising to learn more.
