Your Fundraising Wrap-Up Checklist – Step Three: Ask for Feedback

It’s time for further fundraiser discovery before it’s too late. We suggest sending out a quick survey to both your participants and your customers. You don’t want to do this before you have taken care of the previous two steps as it’s not as big of a priority and you want to thank customers before you ask more of them. However, you’ll reap a lot of benefits if you do proceed with this step as it’s the best time to get the truth about your fundraiser.

STEP THREE: CONDUCT A FUNDRAISING SURVEY

Options for surveying.

  • SURVEY FORMAT

First, you’ll want to figure out in what format you’ll send your survey. You could use an existing tool which we’ll review below or you could simply ask for some feedback via email or a phone call.

  • SURVEY APPS

Some easy-to-use survey tools include Waggl, SurveyMonkey and Google Survey. All are easy to use and quick to send. As opposed to a more manual survey, these allow you  to set up a few questions with more standard options for responses so you can get more concise feedback.

  • QUESTIONS TO ASK CUSTOMERS

How did you hear about our fundraiser?

How would you prefer to be contacted in the future?

What would make this fundraiser easier for you?

You could also set up a scale of sorts that gathers a lot of info in just one question
