An\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nrf.com\/topics\/holiday-and-seasonal-trends\/valentines-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated $21.8 billion<\/a>\u00a0was spent on Valentine\u2019s Day in 2021\u2014a number that continues to increase every year.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the impact even just a portion of that money could have on nonprofits worldwide. While February isn\u2019t typically considered a top month for giving, encouraging donors to spread the love through a contribution to your Valentine\u2019s Day fundraiser could change that.<\/p>\n<p>Below we break down some Valentine\u2019s Day fundraising opportunities your nonprofit should consider this February.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Launch a Love-Themed Fundraising Campaign<\/h2>\n<p>Encourage those celebrating Valentine\u2019s Day to make a donation to your organization on behalf of someone they love, instead of spending their money on material gifts like chocolate and flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Couples\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.petalrepublic.com\/valentines-day-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spend an average of $165 per person<\/a> for Valentine\u2019s Day gifts, so securing even a small portion of that for your nonprofit could make a meaningful impact.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure supporters are aware of this donation opportunity. Here are some simple ways to spread the word:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Create a customized <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/donation-websites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">donation website<\/a><\/strong> for Valentine\u2019s Day donations<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write a blog post<\/strong> about the impact a Valentine\u2019s Day donation could make on your organization this season<\/li>\n<li><strong>Craft a personalized email appeal<\/strong> for existing donors about the opportunity to give<\/li>\n<li><strong>Record a video message<\/strong> from your leadership team or employees explaining why Valentine\u2019s Day is a unique opportunity to support your nonprofit<\/li>\n<li><strong>Share bite-sized pieces <\/strong>of that video message on social media<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design Valentine-themed graphics<\/strong> that can be used across all channels<\/li>\n<li><strong>Encourage your team to spread the word<\/strong> online and with their networks to raise awareness of this unique way to show love<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/proinfo.gofundme.com\/webinar-the-state-of-multi-channel-fundraising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A multi-channel marketing approach<\/a> gets your campaign in front of more donors. Start by identifying which platforms are most effective in reaching your unique audience, then brainstorm what content you plan to share leading up to February 14. It\u2019s important to keep your audience demographics in mind when crafting your marketing narrative.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Encourage Donors to Send eCards on Classy<\/h2>\n<p>Classy\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gofundme.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fundraising platform<\/a>\u00a0simplifies the process of making a donation in honor or memory of someone you love. If a donor chooses to dedicate their gift, they can immediately\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.classy.org\/s\/article\/how-to-edit-dedication-settings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">send a virtual card<\/a> to the honoree to notify them that a donation was made in their name.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve created your eCard templates using a design platform like Canva or Adobe Illustrator, simply upload them to your campaign. Donors can select their favorite card and pass it along to their loved one during the donation process. Not only does this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/leveraging-ecards-for-a-more-personal-and-unique-donation-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide a more personal donor experience<\/a>, but it also introduces your organization to new potential supporters.<\/p>\n<p>To save you time, we created four packs of Valentine\u2019s Day eCards that will be sure to ignite the giving spirit. Upload one or more of these templates to your Classy campaign to give donors immediate access to your designs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAE0iHMaO9M\/_wwvtk2Qp4Jxb4ZXbEmp0Q\/view?utm_content=DAE0iHMaO9M&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=sharebutton&amp;mode=preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pack 1<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23245\" src=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pack-1.jpg\" alt=\"Valentine\u2019s Day eCards\" width=\"488\" height=\"324\" \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAE0iCIGBI4\/WvM4v1v5RhZ4sl91KAj9Pw\/view?utm_content=DAE0iCIGBI4&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=sharebutton&amp;mode=preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pack 2<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23246\" src=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pack-2.jpg\" alt=\"Valentine\u2019s Day eCards\" width=\"484\" height=\"321\" \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAE0iNIj0Qk\/kd-J1RgSfgsmBoZ9TbfW6w\/view?utm_content=DAE0iNIj0Qk&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=sharebutton&amp;mode=preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pack 3<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAE0iNIj0Qk\/kd-J1RgSfgsmBoZ9TbfW6w\/view?utm_content=DAE0iNIj0Qk&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=sharebutton&amp;mode=preview\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20609 size-full alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pack-3.png\" alt=\"ecard template\" width=\"485\" height=\"323\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAE0sTwXb0g\/fEpMORHlh1k4GJf45sOq1w\/view?utm_content=DAE0sTwXb0g&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=sharebutton&amp;mode=preview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Pack 4<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAE0sTwXb0g\/fEpMORHlh1k4GJf45sOq1w\/view?utm_content=DAE0sTwXb0g&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=sharebutton&amp;mode=preview\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20608 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pack-4.png\" alt=\"ecard template\" width=\"481\" height=\"321\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Your nonprofit could also send these eCards to donors, partners, and volunteers to spread the love and thank them for their support.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/15-creative-ways-to-thank-donors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donor recognition and appreciation<\/a> are key to retention.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Partner with Local Florists or Restaurants on Valentine&#8217;s Day<\/h2>\n<p>Valentine\u2019s Day presents an extremely lucrative opportunity for florists, candy shops, and restaurants. Tap into the money flooding these local businesses by establishing mutually beneficial <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/strengthen-nonprofit-strategic-partnership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corporate partnerships<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These local companies are likely busy during the week of Valentine\u2019s Day, but your partnership could help them stand out among the competition. By promoting the partnership with your nonprofit network, you\u2019re helping to increase their business and, therefore, increase the amount of proceeds your organization can collect.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you could include a small card on each flower bouquet that shares a little about your charity or encourage local supporters to order a special menu item from participating restaurants that agree to help raise money for your organization.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Organize a Heart-Healthy 5K<\/h2>\n<p>Valentine\u2019s Day is intrinsically linked with the heart. This is great news for nonprofits since community walks or races are\u00a0some of the most popular <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/fundraising-event-ideas-raise-money-cause\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fundraising events<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is a big advantage for heart-related charities that are especially interested in promoting cardiovascular health and awareness, but endurance events can be hosted by any nonprofit looking to bring their community together for a common goal.<\/p>\n<p>Encourage friends, family, and couples to run together to enjoy some quality time. Consider inviting attendees to dress in red clothing or their favorite Cupid costume to boost morale or give out flower bouquets to the winners of the race.<\/p>\n<a class=\"c-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/9-week-plan-organizing-5k-charity-run\/\" target=\"_blank\">Your 9 Week Plan to Organizing a Charity 5K<\/a>\n<h2>5. Write Love Letters to Supporters<\/h2>\n<p>Striking the right balance of direct appeals and messages of love and gratitude is particularly important for Valentine\u2019s Day. In addition to your fundraising ask,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/makes-good-thank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">write some letters of appreciation<\/a>\u00a0to current donors, sponsors, and volunteers to let them know they\u2019re valued.<\/p>\n<p>These messages could be sent in the form of physical mail, personalized emails, or quick videos. Regardless of what you choose, the point is to show your supporters that you care. Donors who feel valued are more likely to continue coming back to your organization.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Promote Gift Matching<\/h2>\n<p>Finding a match is a prominent theme on Valentine\u2019s Day, so why not carry that theme into your fundraising strategy?<\/p>\n<p>Promote <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/donation-match-myths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">donation matching<\/a>\u00a0by reminding supporters how they can amplify their impact by doubling their donation through an employer.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doublethedonation.com\/tips\/matching-grant-resources\/matching-gift-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eighty-four percent of donors<\/a>\u00a0are more likely to give if a match is offered, and 1 in 3 donors will give more if their donation is matched.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nrf.com\/topics\/holiday-and-seasonal-trends\/valentines-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">38% of people shop for Valentine\u2019s Day gifts online<\/a>, so online donations are a good place to focus your fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n<a class=\"c-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/tips-boost-matching-gift-revenue\/\" target=\"_blank\">Matching Campaign Examples &amp; Best Practices<\/a>\n<h2>7. Host a Date Night Event<\/h2>\n<p>In case you don\u2019t already have a fundraising event scheduled in February, your nonprofit could host one built around Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of directions this could go:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Romantic date night for couples<\/li>\n<li>Sweetheart dance for your younger donors<\/li>\n<li>Singles night for those looking for love<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your nonprofit could also create events that entice the entire family, like a craft night to make your own valentines or a romantic comedy movie marathon.<\/p>\n<p>To boost fundraising levels, you could sell tickets to the event, run a silent auction, sell flowers during the evening, or (in the case of a singles event) auction off dates with eligible bachelors and bachelorettes.<\/p>\n<p>Consider using a platform like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/fundraising-solutions\/classy-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Classy Live<\/a>\u00a0to host your virtual, in-person, or hybrid event to make the online experience both memorable and engaging for all.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Launch a Fundraising Competition Between Local Schools<\/h2>\n<p>Since candy, cards, and flowers are the most popular gifts for Valentine\u2019s Day, you could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/5-valentines-day-school-fundraisers-we-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">partner with local schools<\/a>\u00a0to sell these items in exchange for a donation.<\/p>\n<p>The school that raises the most money could receive a Valentine\u2019s Day-themed dance, candy gift baskets, or an invitation to your nonprofit\u2019s next big event.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Sell Valentine\u2019s Day Telegrams<\/h2>\n<p>In exchange for donations above a certain level, you could send a special Valentine\u2019s Day video to your donors\u2019 loved ones. Ask your staff and volunteers to record personalized messages, like Cameo, or a recording of your team singing a love song.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to plan these videos in advance. Have clear instructions for how to record each one, with particular details about backgrounds and lighting. Decide where you\u2019ll upload these videos to ensure they\u2019re mobile-friendly and easily accessible, and don\u2019t be afraid to have some fun and get creative.<\/p>\n<h2>Power Your Mission with a Valentine\u2019s Day Fundraiser<\/h2>\n<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day is the perfect opportunity to re-engage year-end donors and capitalize on the fervor of a new year. While many organizations are still ironing out the final details of their <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/how-to-plan-your-annual-fundraising-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">annual strategy<\/a>, taking advantage of this holiday could help you establish steady momentum heading into spring.<\/p>\n<p>To get a head start on spring fundraising success, explore these <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/25-creative-spring-fundraising-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>25 Creative Spring Fundraising Ideas.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it doesn\u2019t rival holiday powerhouses like Christmas or Mother\u2019s Day, Valentine\u2019s Day is still\u00a0one of the top consumer-spending holidays\u00a0in the United States.
