Community-organized fundraisers are one of the most effective ways to raise money for KASA, because they reach people who are not already in our network and do so through a trusted personal relationship. When someone you know asks you to support a cause they care about, you pay attention in a different way than you do with a cold email from an organization you have never heard of.
The format can be almost anything. A dinner party where you ask guests to contribute. A bake sale. A sports event. A cultural performance where ticket proceeds go to KASA. A virtual fundraising campaign through a platform where friends and colleagues can donate in your honor. What matters is that you are willing to ask, and that you can explain clearly what KASA does and why it matters.
KASA will support you in this. We can provide materials explaining the organization’s programs, help you set up a donation page that directs contributions to KASA properly, and acknowledge your fundraiser publicly on our social media. We ask that fundraisers be coordinated with us in advance so we can track contributions correctly and make sure your effort is recognized. Reach out through the contact page to get started.
