Newman s Own Foundation is celebrating 35 years of giving and $500 million to thousands of charities, helping millions of people. As Paul Newman would say, giving back is just the right thing to do. Newman s Own Foundation was founded by the late actor Paul Newman to continue his philanthropic legacy and help make the world a better place. The Foundation turns all net profits and royalties from the sale of Newman s Own food and beverage products into charitable donations.
Started by 92Y and entering its sixth year, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources.

It takes about 30 seconds to donate and all online donors automatically receive an acknowledgement and receipt for their contribution via email. Real-time, full access and ownership of donor reports, team member information, fundraising progress, etc. allows you to improve your campaign and messaging to your community. Amazing integration to social networks allows fundraisers and charities to share their page with everyone in the world with just the click of a button. You have full control over the content of your fundraising pages, and we re here to support you in every possible way. Use your unique Widget code to accept donations to your Challenge campaign from your charity s site. Supporters can quickly set up their own pages and start raising funds right away. Every individual has a personal fundraising page they re able to customize to tell their own Story, and all of the tools they need to share their page and raise so much money for your cause.
New tools that give you the power to see beyond the donation. Best-in-class post donate social share features help extend your brand reach further than ever. GoFundMe increased social shares over 20% using Social Amp and post donate social share and we ve brought those learnings to CrowdRise. Powerful donor acquisition: on average, 1 in 5 of those post donate social shares results in a new and unique donation for your charity.
Social Amp has already had an incredible impact on donor activity for fundraisers. 45% 1.5x 20% Clicks with Donation Intent Donor Shares Clicks with Sharing Intent
Community Engagement Personal, authentic, and on location pictures or videos are the best way to update passionate supporters. Introduce new stretch goals. JUST DO IT: Campaigns on CrowdRise raise 5.7x more when they use video updates (versus no updates). Coming soon - scheduled social posts.
On #GivingTuesday and throughout the Challenge, messaging will be the most crucial aspect of your campaign. Message about your campaign and ask everyone to donate. Leverage social media to spread the word and send lots of emails to help drive donations. And we ll help ya out with a bunch of email drafts along the way. Also be so good at thanking your donors that they ll tell 10 friends and 1 enemy about your campaign. You can thank them through your fundraiser on CrowdRise, send them a personalized email or letter or pick up the phone and call.
Recruiting fundraisers (as opposed to just donors) turns a person who would ve been a one-time donor into someone who is reaching out to their own personal network on your behalf, extending your reach far beyond your own email list. Leverage your community to join your team as fundraisers. Once signed up, they ll be able to customize their own pages and share the message of your cause with their personal networks, expanding your reach and bringing you new donors in the process.
