We’re replacing today’s blog post with a special announcement:
If you’re at a small nonprofit, and the fires in LA have caused you to need extra/emergency funds, we’d like to help: we will write an emergency fundraising email for you.
<< If you don’t work in/around LA, but know someone who does, please feel free to forward this post to them. >>
Watching the fires unfold this week has been heartbreaking. We work with people who have lost their homes.
Knowing how the nonprofit community jumps into action at times like this, there are hundreds (thousands?) of smaller nonprofits in LA who could use some emergency cash. And they don’t have the time or expertise or budget to get out an emergency email.
So we’d like to help.
If you’re at a small nonprofit and would like us to write a free emergency fundraising email for you, here’s what to do:
- Send an email to info@betterfundraising.com
- Give us a brief snapshot of what’s happening for your beneficiaries or organization
- Tell us if your organization is too small to afford to do this on your own, or if you’ve just never really known how
We’ll reply with a few detail questions about your exact situation so we know what to say in the email. Once you send us the answers, we’ll write an emergency email for you within a day or two. We’ll also send a handful of tips that will help you with emergency fundraising in general.
We made this offer after hurricanes Helene and Milton last fall, and it was a joy to meaningfully help the organizations who took us up on our offer.
We are inspired by all that nonprofits in the LA area are doing right now. This is the way we can help, and just like you, we’ll help as much as we can.
If you or your organization need an email, please get in touch!
