FUNDRAISING TIPS 

Pledge Yourself First

Friends and family are more likely to make a pledge if they know they know you have done so as well.

Set A Goal

1. Start by pledging yourself first...$25

2. Ask 3 friends to each pledge...$25 = $75

3. Ask 2 coworkers to each pledge...$25 = $50

4. Ask your boss to pledge...$50

5.  Ask 4 family members to pledge...$25 = $100

 

Corporate Gift Matching Programs

1. An employee of Company ABC raises $100 for AIDS Walk Wisconsin.
   
   
2. The employee gets a matching gift form from their supervisor or human resources to complete and turn in. Depending on Company ABC's matching gift program, the employee could get a 100% match (dollar for dollar), another percentage of the total donation or a specific dollar amount (e.g., for every $50 raised, Company ABC will match the amount up to $25).

Does your company or organization have a matching gift program? Check with your supervisor or human resources department to find out. If it doesn't, talk to your human resources department and find out what it would take to start one. Or view our list of some companies that already have a matching gift program - yours might already be on it.

A little inquiry and some simple paperwork can go a long way in helping people confronting HIV/AIDS!
