How to Engage Influencers in Fundraising

Givergy

Welcome to another episode of the Secret Guide to Fundraising. This week we were delighted to talk to Influencer Relations Specialist, Ash Collins!

Developing and managing partnerships with donors is a skill that fundraisers have perfected, but the art of applying this craft to influencers is fairly new. Working for Best Friends Animal Society, Ash oversees partnerships and collaborations with social media influencers across all platforms to promote campaigns for the organisation. With influencers becoming an ever more powerful tool for raising awareness, it’s worth exploring how non-profits should best use them for their own causes.

Best Friends Animal Society work to save animals across the United States through their sanctuaries and life-saving centres. They also collaborate with rescue groups to ensure larger numbers of animals can be rehomed within communities. By working with influencers to elevate their campaigns and connect with people across the country, Best Friends Animal Society are a non-profit finding innovative ways to stand out in a dynamic digital landscape.
