Step 7: Think bigger with fundraising beyond your event

Here at Firstgiving, we are proud to work with all the thousands of nonprofits, fundraisers and donors who use our site every day to raise money online for the many causes they care about.  We’ve helped over 25,000 nonprofit organizations raise over $100,000,000 online since 2003, and we’re constantly inspired by the stories you tell and the impact you have on your communities at home and around the world.  Our team is constantly working to improve our service so that you can spend less time and effort raising funds and more time doing the good work that you’re doing.

We hope you feel equipped with the tools you need to make the most of your online fundraising.  Remember, you can go back and look over these steps to success any time you like.   As you forge ahead, here are some ways to stay in the loop and learn from your peers as you continue on in your fundraising success!

• Prepare: Follow up with and maintain relationships with past and current fundraisers
