Today we bring you another fundraising Best Practice in Action from our weekly  series.  Each week, we highlight an organization that has done an incredible job of promoting its online fundraising efforts with Firstgiving and show you how to do the same.  This week’s Best Practice is. . .

Tweet updates about your fundraising.

Are you on Twitter? Our friends at Basset Buddies Rescue have been Tweeting about all things Basset Hound for some time (you can follow them @BassetBuddies). It was only natural, then, that they’d Tweet the good news about the first fundraising page created for their Basset Fest fundraising event:

As you might expect, the link in their Tweet goes straight to Basset Buddies’ Firstgiving nonprofit page, where participants can register for the event and start fundraising.

Basset Buddies Rescue is using all of their online tools to get the word out about their event and connect fundraisers to their Firstgiving page. Remember, non-profit organizations like yours are successful in fundraising when they generate excitement about their events!

So, to recap:

If you have a Twitter account, use it to tell your followers about what’s going on in your organization, including your fundraising milestones!

Happy fundraising and best wishes for success!
