Let’s Talk About Tech, Baby! - How to use email/texts to fundraise
Sad but true, the days of snail mail have come and gone. True, we all like to get notes slipped into our mailboxes from time to time: holiday cards, coupons, donation thank you notes, credit card bills. Okay, maybe not the last one.
Regardless, the hard truth is that communication has gone digital. And considering we only have one more month to fundraise, we have to reach as many people as effectively as possible and not everyone is on Facebook anymore! So, how can we harness all of the tech-power we can to fundraise for the bowl-a-thon?

As safety nets crumble in our communities, we show up for reproductive justice, and we care for one another. At Women Have Options, we hear from folks all across Ohio who need an abortion but can’t afford it. We provide grants to cover what is often only a portion of the costs of their abortion care procedures. The grants we provide to our clients can be the difference between accessing a safe and legal abortion, or not having a choice at all.
We depend on the grassroots power and support of people like YOU so that we can continue to provide compassionate and consistent funding to patients in and from Ohio. Join us in working towards a goal of raising $50,000 for abortion access in Ohio!
But bowling for abortion access? I don't get it... Well, let us explain.
Makin' It Personal - Your Bowl-a-thon Fundraising Page
Want to know something interesting about charitable giving? People are actually more likely to give money to a single individual, rather than an abstract group. Luckily, your donors aren’t only giving to an awesome cause. They’re also giving to an awesome individual: YOU. What’s a fun and easy way to remind them of this? Personalize your Bowl-a-Thon page! (It’s sort of like decorating your locker in junior high school, if you went to a junior high school where your locker unleashed magical powers to fund abortion in Ohio.)
