Why You Should Be A Giver In Life

By: Alex Shipley on | Comments: 2

At GiveSendGo, we believe that giving is one of the most powerful things that you can do in life. When you give to others, you not only make a positive impact on their lives but also on your own. It's amazing how one small act of kindness can brighten someone's day, and that's why we encourage everyone to be a giver.

One of the great things about GiveSendGo is that we make it easy for you to give to those in need. When you find or know of a person or cause you want to support you can give! But we don't just stop there. We also encourage people to share the campaigns they create with their friends, family, community, and church. When you share a campaign, you're spreading awareness to your circle (who are the most likely people to give to your campaign) and potentially reaching more people who are willing to help. Plus, when you support others, you set a great example for others to follow.

Being a giver in life doesn't just benefit those around you; it also benefits you. When you give to others, you become more grateful for what you have, and you develop a sense of empathy and compassion. Moreover, people are more likely to reciprocate kindness when they see it. When you're a giver in life, you're more likely to receive that same kind of treatment from others, meaning that the possibility of receiving more donations to your campaign increases.

At GiveSendGo, we're always inspired by the generosity of our community. Whether it's supporting a campaign, sharing it with others, or just spreading kindness, we're amazed by the power of giving. So we encourage you to be a giver in life. It doesn't matter how big or small your gift is; every act of kindness counts. And that’s the whole point of crowdfunding! A large number of people coming together with their smaller donations to make a huge impact! By giving to others, you not only make the world a better place, but you also make your own life better too.

Why Sharing Your Campaign With Your Network Matters

By: Alex Shipley on | Comments: 3

On GiveSendGo.com you can raise money for various causes such as mission trips, legal fees, adoption or fostering costs, etc. But while launching a campaign on GiveSendGo is a great way to raise funds, it's important to understand that simply creating a campaign isn't enough. To achieve your fundraising goals, it's crucial to share your campaign with your network of family, friends, church, co-workers, and others. In fact, several reports indicate that crowdfunding campaigns that are shared on social media are over 125% more likely to receive donations compared to those that are not shared on social media. In this blog, we'll discuss why sharing your GiveSendGo campaign matters and why it's essential to reach out to people you know.

Firstly, it's important to understand there's rarely a group of strangers just waiting to give to campaigns. While crowdfunding platforms can attract givers from all over the world, especially if the campaign happens to go viral, most givers are people who know the campaigner or have a connection to their cause. For instance, if you're raising funds for medical bills, your family, friends, and co-workers are likely to be the ones who are most interested in donating because they know and care about you. If you're raising funds for a mission trip, your church community is likely to be your primary source of support, because they’ll probably have a heart for the same mission as you do. This is why it's essential to share your campaign with your network, as they are the ones who are most likely to give.

Secondly, sharing your campaign with your network can help you reach your fundraising goals faster. The more people who know about your campaign, the more likely you are to receive donations. By sharing your campaign on social media, email, text or direct message, and other channels, you're increasing the visibility of your campaign and making it easier for people to give. When people see that others have donated, they're more likely to contribute as well. Additionally, sharing your campaign can help you generate buzz and excitement around your cause, which can encourage people to give.

Thirdly, sharing your campaign can help you build a community of supporters. When you share your campaign with your network, you're not only asking for donations but also for support. By sharing updates about your progress, your supporters can see the impact of their giving and feel more invested in your cause. They may also share your campaign with their own network, which can help you reach even more people. This can create a snowball effect, where your campaign gains momentum and attracts even more supporters.

In conclusion, sharing your GiveSendGo campaign matters because it's the best way to reach the people who are most likely to give to your cause. By sharing your campaign with your network, you're increasing the visibility of your campaign, reaching your fundraising goals faster, and building a community of supporters. So don't be shy – share your campaign with everyone you know and let them know why your cause is important to you. With their help, you can achieve your fundraising goals and make a real difference in the world.
