5 Easy Ways to Raise Funds for the Hope Parade

The ICU baby Fundraiser Toolkit

1. Make it a Team Effort

Invite your friends, family, co-workers, or neighbors to join us to honor your family’s NICU story.

TIP   Start a Hope Parade team for a chance to win the largest team award (most team members) or the fundraising team award (team to raise the most money).

2. Get Social

Share your fundraising page on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn. 

Share your personal connection to our cause whether it’s your own family’s NICU story or a desire to help NICU warriors - your words have power!

TIP    Tag @icubaby and we will repost your post to amplify your message!

3. Ask Again

We live life on the go. Not everybody is ready or able to donate the first time they see your message.

Follow up. It may take an additional nudge or two before you hear back!

TIP  Provide updates on your fundraising progress! It's a great way to give a gentle reminder of your campaign.

4. Send a Personal Message

A personal email or text (not a blast!) is a great way to get your message out in a very personal way.

Share your family’s NICU story and include a link to your personal or team fundraising page.

TIP  Make it easy and use the email tools in your fundraising dashboard.

5. Say Thank You

Thanking your supporters is a must! (By the way -  Thank you again for supporting ICU baby. We couldn’t do this without YOU!)

TIP   Social media posts thanking and tagging your donors are great ways to generate excitement and encourage other donations!
