With #GivingTuesday kicking off the giving season later this month and the winter holidays ahead, we’re reflecting on our values and looking into the future. For many, education stands out as one of the most important causes to support. In fact, 30% of all nonprofit donations happen during December!
But these charitable dollars are not reserved for big organizations. With ClassTag, every teacher gets an opportunity to tap into the power of community giving and improve their students’ lives in 2022!
How to Get Community Support for your Classroom this Giving Season
Get your Classroom Fund Ready
Your fundraising dashboard is already waiting for you on ClassTag! Personalize it with your preferred cover photo, description, and a thank you note for your supporters.
Set a goal for your Classroom Fund – we recommend $500 as an ambitious but achievable milestone.
How to Get Support with your ClassTag Wishlist
Adding a Wish List to your classroom fund allows your supporters to understand exactly how their contribution will make a difference in your classroom.
Teachers who create a Wish List double the contributions they receive compared to those who leave it blank – so don’t skip this step!
Make your Classroom Fund Public and Share to Get Support
Your Classroom Fund is visible to your class parents by default, but you can broaden the reach of your fund by choosing to make your fund public in your Account Settings.
Once public, you can easily share it with a broader audience, such as your friends and social media communities. You can also add hashtags such as #givingback #givingtuesday #clearthelist to make your post easier to find by contributors.
Additionally, your public fund will be featured on goods.classtag.com, where it can be found by education supporters from anywhere in the world!
Making the most of ClassTag Classroom Fund Contributions
Community contributions reach your ClassTag Coin Bank instantly. You can then use your available funds to redeem hundreds of educational products on ClassTag. From basic supplies, disinfecting products, technology, classroom furniture, and organization, to books and snacks – we’ll swiftly ship needed supplies directly to your classroom. It’s that simple!
So let’s banish unnecessary out-of-pocket spending and give students better opportunities in 2022. Set up your Wish List and share now!
