Why an All-Digital Calendar Fundraiser is Different Than the DIY Version when it comes to simplicity.
Digital better than DYI
If you've ever organized a calendar fundraiser, you know they can be incredibly successful, but they can also become a lot of work. Fundraising isn’t everyone’s favorite topic, so Paramount Fundraising set out to make it so easy, you do not flinch when you hear the word “FUNDRAISING.”
A lot of organizations create a calendar fundraiser in Canva, Etsy, Excel, or even on paper thinking this is the better option so they get 100% of the proceeds. The participants then spend the next several weeks updating available dates, collecting payments, answering questions, and trying to keep everything organized. Even worse, the participants do not like all the work that goes into it and they choose not to participate. It takes a lot of time behind the scenes and while it gets the job done, it could have been a lot more profitable had you used the digital version.
This is exactly why we created the All-Digital Calendar Fundraiser. We took the work out of the equation and we are letting social media do all the work for you. You can even share your personal link via email or text and because it updates in real time, you post and walk away!
We wanted to keep everything people love about calendar fundraisers while eliminating the parts that make volunteers, organizers and participants feel overwhelmed. All the groups we have helped hands down say not only was it sooooo much easier, but they actually raised a lot more money, which in return completely offset the cost of doing it digitally by a long shot. The proof is in the reviews!!!!
