How to Encourage People to Donate

Many people would love to donate money to a cause or support a charity. Most of the time, they just need a little encouragement to make that donation. You can't force people to donate, but there are a few guideline that can motivate people to help support a cause.

      SUPPORT A CAUSE THAT ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO DONATE. People are more willing to donate when they feel passionate about a charity or cause. Choosing a cause that resonates with your targeted audience will help encourage donations. Promoting child abuse awareness at a little league game is an example of this.

      PROVIDE A FREE EVENT OR SERVICE THAT ENCOURAGES DONATIONS. Hosting an event or providing a service for free may also inspire participants to donate. The fact that they are receiving something for nothing may nudge people into providing financial support.

      MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO DONATE. The easier it is for people to donate money, the more likely they will be to contribute. That could mean having a donation bin in plain sight, walking around collecting money, leaving envelops for donations or adding a donation button to a website.

      ASK PEOPLE TO DONATE. Some people refrain from donating money because frankly, they don't know that donations are being accepted. It also helps to remind people periodically that donations are being taken, and to tell them what cause the money is going toward.

Tips & Warnings

  • Having someone speak on behalf of your cause can also increase the number of donations collected. There is something very moving about hearing from someone who lives with a debilitating disease that inspires action in people who listen.

  • The more sincere you are when asking for donations, the higher the chance is of people participating.
