Believe in your cause; believe in what you are presenting. Do not assume that you will get rejected. You are presenting an opportunity for them to help, not asking for a favor. You would be surprised how many people have been affected by domestic violence and want to help. Some people donate because it helps them heal from a domestic violence issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Make a Connection<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make sure your appeal has an emotional connection as well. People tend to contribute when they feel connected to the cause. Share your story, feature a story, share what BTSADV has done for you and explain exactly where the money will be used and how it provides services for survivors. Make sure to state that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">any <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">amount is appreciated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Give an Incentive<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One thing I do each year is either get something donated or buy an item and have a door prize. This way, you are getting your donation, and they are possibly getting an incentive in return. Last year I donated a Disney basket for BTSADV at $5 for one ticket, $10 for three tickets, $25 for eight tickets, or $50 for 25 tickets. I raised almost $2,000 for BTSADV and the winner got to go to Disneyland for only $10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Be Gentle with Yourself &amp; Thank Your Donors<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember its okay to be rejected, just remind them any <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">small <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">donation they give will truly make a difference. When someone does donate, make sure to show your appreciation with a handwritten thank you note.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To be one of the first to sign up for Angel Fund, text Angel22 to 71777 or visit us <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/app.mobilecause.com\/vf\/Angel22\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Good luck,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mama J<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[348],"tags":[235,88,127,161,13,162,234,31],"class_list":["post-9782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-angel-fund","tag-angel-scholarships","tag-angels","tag-break-the-silence-against-domestic-violence","tag-bts-program","tag-btsadv","tag-fundraise","tag-stand-with-bts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
