Employer: The Borgen Project
Project: Fundraise $500
Key Skills: Writing skills, communication with donors and time management
I raised over $800 as a part of my internship with The Borgen Project. I sent out letters to family and friends, and offered my services to reach my goal of $500. I also followed up with those who received letters to remind them to donate. The fundraiser was also promoted on my personal social media accounts as a way to reach a wider audience.
Through communicating with donors and creating strong written materials I was able to reach my fundraising goal. The money I have raised will go to help The Borgen Project continue their mission of reducing absolute poverty.
