1 Trek, Bike Or Climb: Take your fundraising to new heights with an inspirational challenge trip Congress 2015 Case Study Shanan Spencer-Brown & Carly Neill Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Session Overview About the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Profile of Our Supporters Our challenge trip: Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter The Results Project Timeline Challenge Trip vs. -athon Events Determining Organizational Readiness Choosing Your Challenge Logistical Concerns Skills/Mindset of the Fundraising Professional Lessons Learned 1
2 Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Profile of Our Supporters Goal-driven and competitive Enjoy networking and meeting people Like new Appreciate recognition Community-oriented Use philanthropy in their business History of using personal challenges (weight loss or running a marathon), e.g. Grouse Grind for Shelter 2
3 Our organizational challenge How could we harness our supporters desire to get noticed, to network with their peers and to challenge themselves to reach an ambitious goal? Seeing an online ad led us to exploring a fundraising challenge trip. This is where the journey began Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter Worked with specialized travel company Chose Machu Picchu ( Bucket List ) Physical demands were difficult, but not too difficult Trekking fit family violence theme Participants had to raise $5,000 plus cover own travel and majority of trek costs $1,000 from the funds raised would cover trek costs Supporting women s shelter in their own community 3
4 Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter Our goal was to recruit 30 participants and raise $150,000. So, what happened? Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter 75 people responded to the call! We ended up with 60 people (3 groups) for an 8 day trek to Machu Picchu Started in Cusco - 2 days to acclimatize to the altitude Spent 3 days hiking through mountains in the remote Lares Valley region Experienced high altitude, cold weather, camping, local people 4
5 Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter After the Lares Valley region, we hiked the last segment of the famous Inca Trail arriving at the Sun Gate Explored Machu Picchu and celebrated our success Final day back in Cusco and return travel 5
6 Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter Notice the branded t-shirts, hats and buffs! Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter 6
7 The Results Phenomenal fundraising results! 60 people raised $500,000 Great bonding experience Physically and emotionally challenging Had a big impact on participants Greater connection to our cause Heard from others that they wished they had participated! Post-Challenge: very rewarding being able to present funds raised to their local shelter Project Timeline Before our Challenge - In months: Pre-Challenge Research phase 14 to 16 months Launch and promote 12 to 14 Select participants and prepare 6 to 12 Communicate, connect and cheer on 4 to 5 Focus on readiness 2 to 3 Order participant gifts 1 Packing tips and last push for fundraising Week before departure Final reminders, announce fundraising winners, video message from VIP Note: Your timeline may differ depending on destination, number of participants and other factors 7
8 Challenge brochure and logo Challenge brochure and logo We set up a private group for participants We invested in video equipment. 8
9 Personalized fundraising pages Challenge Trip vs. -athon Events What s similar? Provide tips and motivate participants to stay on track with fundraising and physical training Requires peer-to-peer fundraising software Recognition (e.g. prizes and contests) Requires staff time in planning and implementation 9
10 Challenge Trip vs. -athon Events What s different? Fewer participants and higher fundraising commitment More intense cultivation More risk to participants Unique story may draw more media attention More third-party (participant-run) fundraising events Requires no volunteers Determining Organizational Readiness Do you have Core group of supporters interested in adventure travel and capable of raising thousands of $$$ Staff willing and able to personally take on the challenge Board support Corporate/industry supporters that would be willing to put together a group Any high profile donors (e.g. celebrities, CEOs, professional athletes) who you could put with a group of regular folks 10
11 Determining Organizational Readiness Your team must understand This is a high touch and high stakes initiative Your job is to make sure that people feel connected to the cause, successful and happy You must create an experience of a lifetime Depending on number of participants, make this a key focus of your development plan You need to resource it effectively Dedicated staff time Carly and finance coordinator spent 10 hours per week for 12 months (could be less if you have fewer participants) Choosing Your Challenge Things to consider Location High-profile or more rugged and remote? Duration of trip Distance and travel time to get there Best time of year for your participants to travel Ideal time for your organization Type of activity (hiking, biking, climbing, etc.) How physically fit and motivated supporters are to train Financial cost to participants, e.g. trip cost, airfare 11
12 Logistics and Planning a.k.a. Always be prepared! Due diligence speak with other organizations that have done the same challenge Establish clear policies tax receipt rules for participants; what to do with funds raised by drop outs Address whether they can apply existing gifts to the challenge during the fundraising period Let the travel/tour company be just that the charity should not act as a travel agency While you are away, ensure emergency contacts are left with someone in your office Skills/Mindset of the Fundraising Professional Organized and good at developing systems Very good listener and motivator/coach Patient Accept that you can t always control things Be able to have difficult conversations you can t always say yes! Realize that you re forging what can become a long-term relationship that goes beyond the trip 12
13 Lessons Learned Time spent hand holding Will be drop outs so sign up more people than the number you want to end up with Clearly communicate the costs involved Make sure you understand the contract you ve signed with travel company Recognize that some people just won t take in (or read!) everything you send to them Do a one-on-one phone or web meeting with each individual followed by a written sign off Lessons Learned Social media to connect participants in advance Be prepared to manage/moderate the conversations they have on a public forum like Facebook Plan to maintain momentum upon return from the challenge To be determined Whether our supporters stay as connected as we d like and take part in future challenges 13
14 The last word A challenge trip can be very exciting and add momentum to your fundraising, but it has pros and cons. Only you can determine if your organization is ready to profit from such a challenge. Good luck! Bon voyage!
