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 ways:
‍

• By Invitation – Campaigns can invite donors to "Give and Share" from a preferred link.
• Self-Start – Anyone can create their own volunteer 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 TO GIVE&SHARE

‍

If someone wants to become a volunteer fundraiser, the process is seamless:
‍

• Share a Fundraising Link – Send your preferred fundraising link, or create a unique link just for volunteers.
• Volunteers Track Their Own Efforts – Volunteers can login to SmartChange and click "Bundler" to see their Give&Share totals and rank.
  ‍

• Effortless Follow-Up – Volunteers have access to their Give&Share link inside their dashboards, and can reshare at any time.
• Organization-Wide Visibility – Organizations can track every volunteer’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.

‍

BUILDING MOMENTUM TOGETHER

Nonprofits are all about people. GIVE&SHARE makes it easier for your people to be part of the team in a meaningful way, whether they’re giving, sharing, or telling their friends about your organization. SmartChange turns what was once a logistical headache it into a fun, efficient, and effective fundraising strategies.
