START YOUR SERV MICRO-CAMPAIGN TODAY!
What is a micro-campaign? A micro-campaign is an effort done by an individual or small group to raise a targeted amount of money in a short period of time. It’s seeing a need and getting creative to provide the necessary resources.
Campaign Ideas: Dinner fundraisers, popcorn or lemonade stands, clothing drives, giving up gifts on your birthday or anniversary and asking friends and family to donate to SERV instead, cashier counter change jars, Chick-Fil-A fundraisers, Krispy Kreme fundraisers, swapping Likes For Meals on your Facebook campaign, partnering with your church small group or youth group. The options are endless and our team is more than happy to help you brainstorm ideas!
Partnering with SERV through a micro-campaign is a great way to earn volunteer hours, school credits, local and global outreach experience, and to bless those in desperate need. Your fundraising dollars go a very long way and 100% of it goes towards projects.
STEP 1: It only takes a few minutes to start your own campaign. First, decide what type of campaign you will do and for what project you will be raising funds (for example: food, water, shelter, life). Then email Jim Vinyard at jvinyard@servone.org, and let him know what your campaign is for, your campaign name, campaign dates, campaign goals, and your contact information (please include your first name, last name, email address, and telephone number).
STEP 2: Jim will reply to you and get you setup for donations and provide any graphics and pictures you may need to help support and fuel your awesome campaign!
STEP 3: Setup a Facebook campaign page, Twitter account, letters, flyers, etc. – Anything you need for a successful campaign. SPREAD THE WORD via email blasts, texts, phone calls, letters, and social media. The more people you tell about your campaign, the faster you can reach your goal.
STEP 4: Once you have your campaign up and running, please keep Jim updated on progress and stories. He and our SERV team are here to support you!.
STEP 5: After your campaign ends, we will send 100% of what you raised to the project you have chosen. We will also follow-up with pictures, stats, etc. from the project so you can share the difference you got to make alongside your campaign supporters.
