4 Tips for Creating Donation Sign Ups

Persuading people to part with their time or resources for a cause close to your heart can be a challenging task. Part of the challenge is building awareness about your cause. The other challenge is mobilizing a group in a coordinated fashion to achieve your goal.

Fortunately, online sign ups can make it easy to spread the word about your event and mobilize a group of people. And, with our SignUpGenius payments feature, you can easily collect financial donations directly on your sign up - creating an easy way for people to give toward your cause. See these four tips for getting started with your donation sign up.

Decide the donation

There can be many different categories of donations including volunteering time, goods or money. One of the keys to getting started on your fundraiser checklist is to clearly outline how people can help. This can be done by choosing the donation options early in the process.

If you need to coordinate donations for items you'd like to collect for a nonprofit. You can easily list out the items and volunteers can sign up to donate certain items and bring them to a drop-off location. Be sure to list the date and location you need the items dropped off. Additionally, you can create a slot for volunteers who can help sort and deliver the collected items. See how Nan Howard used a donation sign up to make a big difference for her favorite nonprofit.
