| Welcome to Firstgiving’s August newsletter. We hope you’re having an awesome summer and just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about some of the awesome stuff we’ve been up to. As always, there’s much more to read at the Online Fundraising Blog. | |
Endurance Fundraising & World Run DayIf you love to run and especially if you love to raise money for a good cause while running, you’ll love our new blog, Team Firstgiving. It’s all about maximizing your running and fundraising performance. What’s more, Firstgiving is partnering with World Run Day, a global day of running as far as you want as fast as you want. If you’re not already doing an organized run this Fall, you should check it out our Facebook group to learn more. |

Katrina Anniversary & The Music in Motion TourThis week marks the third anniversary of hurricane Katrina’s devastation of New Orleans. Thanks to the good work of many people and organizations, things are much improved, but much still needs to be done. Firstgiving is partnering with the Patron Music in Motion Tour to raise money for two great New Orleans charities, with over $18,000 raised so far. If you raise money with the Music in Motion Tour and register at http://www.musicinmotiontour.com you could win a trip and concert tickets, so check it out today. |

Firstgiving Referral ProgramLet’s be honest, we get most of our best information from friends and colleagues, not from email newsletters. That’s why we’ve created the Firstgiving referral program. If you nominate a nonprofit organization and they join Firstgiving for six months or raise $5,000 you’ll get three months of Firstgiving service free. |

Thanks for reading. We’re looking forward to a great Fall full of inspiring fundraising. You can get more fundraising tips, inspirational stories, and promotions at our blog, the Online Fundraising Blog. All the best, The Firstgiving Team |
