Nonprofit fundraising is an incredibly rewarding venture. It just feels good when the funds come in and go to a worthy cause - so good that many nonprofit fundraisers spend an inordinate amount of time recruiting volunteer fundraisers, organizing them, and then tracking there results. One of the most effective ways to expand a donor base is through volunteer fundraisers—supporters who rally their own networks to expand yours, to give, and to be a a part of the team. In previous years, equipping volunteer fundraisers with the right tools has been clunky at best.
‍

That’s why we built GIVE & SHARE, our volunteer fundraising tool that automates expanding your reach and network, and  simplifies volunteer fundraising.

WHAT DO VOLUNTEER FUNDRAISERS DO, AND WHY DO THEY MATTER?

‍

Volunteer fundraisers are the multipliers in your fundraising operation. They may make large dollar donations, they may give their spare change—but they bring their friends, family, and colleagues along with them. One motivated volunteer fundraiser can expand your database by hundreds of people. And the ripple effect isthat many of those people will be new donors, but it's only possible to do this well if you have the right tools to make the effort organized and efficient.

‍

WHO CAN BECOME A VOLUNTEER FUNDRAISER?
‍

Anyone. That’s the beauty of it.

Volunteer fundraising is no longer limited to existing donors or staff. With SmartChange, every supporter has the chance to step up and engage their own communities.

‍

HOW TO BECOME A VOLUNTEER FUNDRAISER

‍

There are two simple paths:
‍

• By Invitation – Campaigns can invite donors to "Give and Share" from a preferred link.
• Self-Start – Anyone can create their own bundler link by creating a SmartChange account at www.smartchange.app, then visiting www.smartchange.app/fundraisers and selecting a fundraiser they’d like to share.
  ‍

No manual link creation, no extra approvals needed—just easy access to more help.

‍

HOW IT WORKS

‍

Once someone becomes a volunteer fundraiser, the process is seamless:
‍

1. Share a Unique Link – From your fundraising campaign's dashboard, choose a fundraiser or event and share the donation link.
2. Volunteer Fundraisers Get Their Own Tracking – Each supporter who shares the link gets a unique, shareable Give&Share Link  connected to their account.
3. Effortless Follow-Up – Volunteer fundraisers can choose to share their targets with your organization, who can can see who has donated through the Give&Share link. Pledge-chasing becomes a breeze this way!
4. Organization-Wide Visibility – Organizations can track every bundler’s progress in real time, right inside the dashboard.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR NONPROFITS NOW

Today more than ever, nonprofits must strengthen their donor base from the inside out. Doing this alone is nearly impossible - engaging supporters and volunteers to help raise saves time and and protects your team from burnout.

With GIVE&SHARE:
‍

• Supporters are empowered to act by generating their own links and doing their own outreach.
• Fundraisers stay focused on growing and strengthening donor communities instead of admin work.
• Organizations get instant visibility into what’s working and who their top Volunteer Fundraisers are.
  ‍

That means more money raised, faster—and with less stress on your team.

‍
