NOT ASKING FOR MONEY, just sharing an interesting thought. Cool prizes don’t motivate people to share your brand/idea/cause or whatever else you are trying to promote. My football club, the Judean Rebels, is made up of multiple tackle and flag teams with hundreds of players and former players. I made an offer to the team captains: Whichever team raises the most money for our go-fund-me would get a customized pair of Air Force Ones. The mock-up looked sweet. The team captains were pretty into it. I thought it would be a home run. But then we ran into our first major problem: We couldn't convince any of the players to commit to raising anything. And the captains gave up. The result? 24 donations reaching about $1,500. So early this year my friend Daniel Freishtat reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to run a peer-to-peer fundraiser using CauseMatch. I told him I know everything about peer-to-peer, and believe me, it’s not for us. But we met anyway, and within a few minutes, we uncovered 5 different huge mistakes I had made. And what we could have done. So I took them up on it. And we’ll see if we can beat that $1,500 raised. And I am going to show you exactly how we do it in the following weeks. #fundraising #nonprofit #football

When March rolls around, we’re all basketball fans. This year,  experience the thrill of March Madness and get an opportunity to win big in a new way. Pick the winner of the men's tournament, women's tournament, or both. Winners from each tournament will split the total pool, up to $500 each. The more entries the bigger the prize, the more raised for A Moment of Magic and our important work. Here’s how to get involved! Visit https://lnkd.in/ek2YAs5h now!   You can make your selection by picking the team or teams you want to win. You can enter as many teams as you want for both the men's and women's tournaments!   For example:  If you buy 5 tickets for Gonzaga to win your name will be entered 5 times under Gonzaga. If you buy an additional 5 tickets for UNC, your name will be entered 5 times under UNC. If Gonzaga loses in the second round, you still have 5 opportunities to win as long as UNC stays viable. If UNC becomes the National Champion, you have 5 chances to win the big prize! If UNC loses before the championship, you always have the option to buy additional entries under a team still in the tournament.    You can buy entries at the beginning of the tournament or wait until the competition narrows down, but after each round entry prices will increase.   At the end of the tournament, we will randomly select an entry from those who selected the winner to receive the cash prize!   50% of funds raised will support A Moment of Magic's work in providing creative programming and support to vulnerable and underserved children! So, what will your strategy be? Get in on the action now: https://lnkd.in/eb4ybFyD #marchmadness #ncaabasketball #nonprofitfundraising
