Custom Programs

At Direct Appeal we offer a series of innovative fundraising programs that build brand identity and awareness - a key factor for donors when deciding which charity to support. Additional fundraising services include:

Calendars/Annual Reports:
Communication is key when it comes to your contributors. A Calendar/Annual Report is the perfect way to thank your donors while giving them a useful gift that is attractive, reminds them of your efforts and encourages them to get more involved.

Retail/Banking Hang-up Promotions:
Teaming up with the right charity is important, especially for retailers and banks. A Hang-up promotion helps you gain community awareness. The local retailer and/or bank receive positive recognition and it encourages others to join in to help the cause. (This program also opens the opportunities for press releases, check presentation services, cable TV and newspapers).

Restaurant Tie-Ins:
Your local restaurants are great resources for Tie-In events. They pull the community and donors together for a wonderful day/evening event from which a portion or all of the proceeds benefit your food bank. It is a successful tool because it brings traffic to the restaurant promoting future business while supporting charity awareness to all that dine at the event.

Corporate Tie-Ins:
Corporate Tie-Ins can be some of the most successful ways to raise funds, awareness and brand your identity in the community. These campaigns join your organization with a corporation who may be willing to donate a portion of proceeds or match an amount raised in a fundraiser etc. These campaigns can include: billboards, radio, posters, in-store displays and check presentations.

Events:
Smart and strategic fundraisers are the key to a promising year for any non-profit. Events tend to bring a large audience giving you the opportunity to raise a substantial amount of funds in a memorable environment. We offer event planning services and are here to help you execute them successfully.

Multimedia/Video Productions/Electronic Newsletters:
Publicly showing what your organization does and why it exists is important in the eyes of your donors and the community. A PSA, multimedia production and/or electronic newsletter are the perfect mediums to get your message out and make an impact. Direct Appeal specializes in these productions and electronic e-mail blasts.

Print:
Some examples of other print materials that can be used in direct mail, as handouts, for a corporate sponsorship proposal and/or basic informational pieces.
