Be a Winged Warrior for Michigan Audubon This Giving Tuesday!

You can champion for the birds of Michigan on December 1 by creating your own peer to peer (P2P) fundraiser that supports Michigan Audubon this Giving Tuesday! The process is simple and you get to play a pivotal role in helping us reach our goal of $5,000 for this annual day of giving.

Suggestions for fundraising success:

• Set a goal. Make it ambitious but achievable, and give updates on your progress. If just 10 fundraisers set a goal of $250 we are well on our way to hitting our mark.
• Donors need not be bird-enthusiasts. Share your passion, and don’t leave anyone out. People who care about you will care about your experience and your message.
• Make it personal. You can edit your fundraising page to include a unique story and impactful photograph.
• Start early. Plan your outreach, and don’t limit it to social media because you might be missing some likely donors. Email is also a great way to share the link to your fundraising page.
• Show immediate and repeated gratitude. You can thank your donors directly and publicly online (just remember to respect any gifts made with anonymity). A handwritten note at the end of the campaign is the icing on the gratitude cake!
