7 Steps to Craft the Perfect Islamic Fundraising Message<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

1. Personalize, personalize, personalize\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Personalization is the key to a perfect fundraising message no matter the audience. This type of communication builds trust and makes your potential donors feel important \u2013 which encourages them to give.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sending communication tailored for each donor is more than just changing the name field on an email! <\/span>Segment your audience<\/span><\/a> by demographics like age, location, and prior interest in your organization to send fundraising messages that are more likely to stick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Donorbox donor management<\/b><\/a> makes segmentation easy! Sort your supporters by a variety of filters to pull just the list you need. You can also record communication with each supporter, so you don\u2019t reach out too often or too infrequently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Be specific<\/span><\/h3>\n

Be very specific with your ask, both in the type of gift you\u2019re seeking and the amount.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you asking for Zakat<\/a> or Sadaqah<\/a> gifts? Is Ramadan<\/a> getting close, and are you encouraging those who cannot or will not fast to give Kaffarah or Fidya?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The more specific you are, the more your donors will understand what you want them to give.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting specific about the donation amount you\u2019re hoping to receive will help them feel confident in their gift, too. You can do this by explicitly asking for a certain amount. Add donation amounts to your giving form to better illustrate the levels that will help you the most.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We love how specific <\/span>Link Outside<\/span><\/a> gets about what each donation amount provides to the people they help.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Include relevant hadiths<\/h3>\n

Compelling and relevant hadiths are a great way to help people connect with your Islamic fundraising message.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are plenty that discuss the importance of charity. Choose one you think will resonate with your campaign\u2019s goal and fit it into your messaging. The key here is the fit<\/em> \u2013 don’t stick a hadith in just for the sake of it! Make sure the meaning fits with your messaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

4. Get your timing right<\/h3>\n

Lead time is crucial for a fundraising message to be effective. There’s no room for procrastination in fundraising, so plan out your fundraising messages far in advance.<\/p>\n

For example, if you want to ask for donations during the last 10 nights of Ramadan<\/a>, it’s best to reach out before Ramadan even starts to encourage donors to give during that holy time.<\/p>\n

Often, reaching out just once isn’t enough. Schedule regular outreach throughout your campaign to ensure your fundraising message gets heard by busy supporters.<\/p>\n

5. Make it easy to give<\/h3>\n

The most important part of your fundraising message? Providing an easy and clear way to take action through a seamless giving experience!<\/span><\/p>\n
