In order to help 2 families achieve their dream of home ownership, we need all hands on deck!
How do we do this? We reach out to our own networks through social media, email or another preferred method. By doing this you are not only helping families with a big dream. You are also introducing your loved ones to the joy of giving to an important cause. Think about it. What if 300 people made $25 gifts? We’d blow our goal out of the water! Keep reading for examples of Facebook posts or emails that you could copy and paste and use with your network. Thanks for working hard at helping hard working families!
The following are practical actions you can take to expand the reach of this important campaign.
Our favorite - Issue a challenge!
Challenge your family, friends, and work colleagues to help you reach a total. Send an email or post on social media telling them what you plan to do and challenging people to join you to reach a total. i.e. “For #GivingTuesday, lacasa is raising money to support families achieve their dream of home ownership. It can make all the difference! I’m making a gift of $25, but I don’t want it to stop there. I want to help raise $125. Who else will join me in making a $25 gift? The link is here: igfn.us/form/LFtiXQ. Be sure to let me know that you did it!” Feel free to make this your own. A challenge can be a fun way of engaging your network in the satisfying work of helping others.
