- How can you raise a lot of money? Use psychology tricks! Here are 5 techniques you can use to fundraise for your charity or business. #Fundraising #Nonprofits #Business
Why do some organizations or businesses seem to be able to raise money effectively but not others? Why do some fundraiser ideas or events raise more money for nonprofit organizations than others? In this video I talk through 5 fundraising strategies based on the psychology of fundraising you can use to increase your donations and raise money more quickly, too.
Whether you’re starting or running a nonprofit organization, a social enterprise, or a business, these strategies can help you build loyalty, a good experience, and happiness that will inspire your followers to continue to support you.

Please share more if you haven't already! My nonprofit can't make impact without a building!
Definitely! Check out my other videos - I have sooo many on fundraising! (Thanks for watching :))
Your a blessing Amber, lets change the world
Let's do it!!!
I'm obsessed with your videos!
😊
Thank you Melanie for your assistance. I’m truthfully grateful and I’m committed to sacrificing and praying for you because I have no money to send.
Thank you for watching Luke!
My undergrad studies were in psychology (neuropsych mostly) but many of the psychological effects you touched on as relevant to successful fundraising/business strategies peaked my interest even more as I start to learn about the science of non-profit organizations in entertainment of my own ideas which have been back burnered for years , haha. Thanks!
Isn't it fascinating!? Part of the reason I got into nonprofits was because I was curious about ways people could act altruistically.
Looking for fundraising tips and your channel is my go to 1st resource to check in with. This is a great video thank you!
All great, but the little part of tip 1, creating, back to back - different - positive experiences, is having a concrete impact on what I am planning. Thank you!!!
:)
Wow. Great stuff. Information packed.
Thanks for watching :)
Absolutely
🤓
Great!
:)
What are some of your fundraising tips?! Share for everyone!
I have heard it said that people will give to people or ideas... meaning either have a solid enough relationship that they would give you what you ask for no matter what... or have a vision they want to see become a reality so much so they will give to see that idea tried.
I can see how using these psychology tips could enhance this concept and make it more effective... I mean if people don't feel positive about the person making the ask... then they are less likely to give.
Exactly! Yes, it is about trust. People are more likely to donate to a cause run by someone they know and like (and trust)!
Hi Amber,
Great channel.
You were talking about seeding the donation box. Something I heard that may take some thinking to use, was a punch card where some business was encouraging repeat business. There was normally a buy five items, get one free, but as an experiment they created a card with seven spots. Then when they first punched the card, they punched two spots and said, "since you're such a good customer". Having multiple punches encouraged repeat business by the customer.
@@mikefeddersen2476 YES! It's very similar to that! People like to contribute when there's some momentum behind something. It feels less risky to "start from scratch"!
Thanks Amber 🌎 Greetings from Colombia. The Venezuelan Immigrant writer 🇻🇪
Welcome to the channel!
Would like to hear more about your capital campaign as you move through the process. Please share!
Thanks so much! You might have guessed, but sadly, due to the pandemic, we've had to push pause on that campaign. :( We'll hopefully revisit it soon, but we have to play it by ear.
Eudaemonia is my new second favourite word
What is your first?
would love to know about the building
Sadly our project to raise funds for a building is on hold during COVID! Hopefully we'll resume soon.
I'd be really interested to know some of the research that you have drawn on please?
Definitely! I compiled a bunch of research from various academic and professional sources on fundraising; studies on the psychology of giving and philanthropy, etc. Studies from Isen and Levin, Harbaugh, Lyubormirsky, and others.
You mentioned your company is kicking off a campaign to raise funds to launch an actual building. So to have your own office space!
*?
Kinda - we're actually trying to launch a community center! Our offices will happen to be in there, but the purpose is not to build our own office space, but to build a community space. Of course, the Coronavirus has put those plans on pause for the moment...
🙏😇😎
😀
@@AmberMelanieSmith You are doing amazing work young lady and I will be studying more this week.God bless.🙏😎🇺🇸
Give me money!!! Cuz I said so!!! Lol!
Ha ha, not quite! What did you think of the video? :)
Eudaimonia. My favorite part. I LOVE your videos!
Which MBTI type do you think is most charitable? What's your MBTI type?
Hmm, I'm not sure! What I've learned through making these videos is that each type seems to have their own style of helping others, which I think is really cool. I am personally an ENFJ.
@@AmberMelanieSmith Good point. People usually claim ISTP's aren't the helping type, but their technical acumen usually makes them amazing helpers. ENFJs are good at inspiring helping efforts by others and leading them.
Purpose and impact 🤔 I’ve been contemplating on a non profit organization for quite some time, mainly because i spend a fair amount of time looking to implement what i feel like i can offer but never finding a vice in order to do so. If you read this, reply with an okay and we can find an effective and professional way to communicate my idea. Your video of stating “understanding the need” was all too easy to figure out. The objective and goal for me is not about the money but about making an impact. Message me directly in order to bring that to some sort of conclusion. Thanks in advance
Of course! Any nonprofit should be about the purpose and impact first and foremost! Sometimes those things require resources (like money) though, so knowing how to fundraise can be really helpful. My contact info is in my profile if you'd like to reach out.
Why should giving make the giver feel better? I thought the purpose of giving is to make the recipient feel better- at least that's why I give
Hey Ryan! I don't think it's that it "should" make the giver feel better - I think that, psychologically, it simply DOES make the giver feel better! In my opinion, it is fine with me if a giver feels good by doing good. Better than them feeling bad about it!
@@AmberMelanieSmith Ah, good point.
Ryan Hanks the purpose of giving is just to give. The outcome of how they decide to take that is for them to decide. What you’ve given is all that matters.
Amber Melanie Smith exactly!
You're really helpful, could I get your email?
I will launch a Crowdfunding campaign in FundRazr... Ecological Gardens project. The Planet deserves a lot more from us 🌎
Good luck!
