#FUNdraisingTips
💰 How about making some money for your favorite charity without asking others for donations??
📱 There are lots of apps and websites that can earn you money, that you, in turn, can donate to your fundraising efforts.
💜 Listed below are just a few that I’ve used. I’d love to hear your suggestions!

#TheresAnAppForThat

Evidation Earn money for movement & surveys
Upside Save money on gas & other shopping
Charity Miles Earn money for charity by walking, running, & biking
Credit cards that earn you cash back
#SocialMediaTips
Improve the accessibility of your social media posts by this one thing…
#CapitalizeHashtags
👩💻 When hashtags are capitalized, they are more likely to be read correctly by a screen reader used by someone who is visually impaired.
💜 For example, #FUNdraisingGeek is easier to visually read than #fundraisinggeek

FeaturedCharity
Our featured charity is the Colette Louise Tisdahl Foundation.
🌸 Their mission is to improve outcomes of pregnancy, childbirth, prematurity, and infancy, as well as aid in the grieving process through financial assistance, education, and advocacy.
🌸 The foundation was founded by Michelle and Mark Tisdahl after the loss of their daughter, Colette just 9 days after her birth.
🌸 Michelle and Mark keep Colette’s memory alive as they help families that find themselves in situations similar to theirs - families who have to struggle with pregnancy complications and premature birth.
🌸 The Colette Louise Tisdahl Foundation provides financial assistance grants to families in need due to pregnancy complications, NICU stays, and the loss of a child.
You can support the work of the Colette Louise Tisdahl Foundation with a single or recurring donation, and tickets to their 🏇 Night at the Races 🐴fundraising event on September 7, 2023.
