How your nonprofit can make fundraising easier
By Team BetterWorld on
Running a nonprofit usually means wearing many hats—event planner, bookkeeper, donor manager, and sometimes you’re all of them in the same day. If that sounds like your life, you’re not alone.
The good news? Fundraising doesn’t have to be so hard. You don’t need a huge team or a big budget to make things run smoother. You just need a system that works and a few smart changes.
In this article, we’ll walk you through some real tips that can make fundraising easier!
Prioritize donor-friendly giving
Donors give more often when the process is quick and simple. In fact, 60% of people say they donate just because the process was easy. And with 91% of U.S. adults owning smartphones, offering flexible, mobile options is no longer optional—it’s a must.
Mobile optimization might look like:
- Mobile-friendly donation pages
- Text-to-give options
- On-site kiosks or tablets
- Volunteers ready to process credit cards at events
Whether it’s a 20-year-old donor that’s great with technology or an 80-year-old donor that’s had a couple of glasses of wine at your event, we focus on making donating easy for them.” - Whit Hunter, Co-founder, BetterWorld
The fewer steps and barriers in the way, the more likely someone is to give.
Use integrated, seamless tools
Nothing slows a fundraiser like duplicate data entry. If someone buys a ticket, you shouldn’t have to retype their details when they bid at the auction. Integrated platforms solve this by linking ticketing, donations, and bidding all in one place.
“If someone buys a ticket, their information is already in the system when they try to place a bid. Everything is interconnected on BetterWorld.” - Whit Hunter, Co-founder, BetterWorld
Choosing software that connects all these steps saves time and cuts down on mistakes. It lets your team focus on donors, not spreadsheets.
Use digital pledges
At live events, asking for support can be exciting, but collecting dozens of paper pledges isn’t. A mobile pledge option solves that.
The numbers are clear: the average mobile pledge is about $167, and around 84% of pledges get paid. Instead of managing slips of paper, donors can text a number or scan a QR code to pledge instantly.
“Donors also have the ability to pledge digitally…instead of trying to write down 40 people raising their paddles, you can just direct people to use their phones.” Whit Hunter, Co-founder, BetterWorld
It’s fast, accurate, and helps you keep momentum during your appeal.
Focus on donor impact
Supporters want to know their gift creates real change. Donation pages with clear impact statements perform much better. Instead of asking for a dollar amount alone, link it to a result.
“Instead of ‘please make a $100 donation,’ you can say ‘$100 buys a week’s worth of meals’ or ‘$45 plants a tree.’ That way, donors see their impact.”- Whit Hunter, Co-founder, BetterWorld
By framing donations around outcomes, you make giving more personal and motivating.

Remove barriers and limits
Finally, don’t restrict generosity with artificial caps. Some platforms limit campaigns, donors, or goals, but that can hold you back. BetterWorld’s approach avoids limits altogether and lets nonprofits run as many campaigns as they need without fees.
This freedom allows you to test ideas like mini-campaigns, social media challenges, or peer-to-peer pages without worrying about quotas. More chances mean more opportunities to raise support.
