Linda Hansen, CEO of Fund Duel

What makes for a successful campaign on Fund Duel?

Successful campaigns on Fund Duel use fun challenges, have numerous and committed team captains that are deeply and personally involved and share the campaign with their community. Furthermore, when a campaign leads up to a live or live-streamed event at the culmination of a 30-60 day duel, with a celebration of the content uploaded on their custom- built campaign page, there is the opportunity for donors to view themselves as they shared and gave. This is akin to the ALS Ice Bucket challenge. This is amplified with the support of engaged corporate and media partners. Challenges such as the ice-bucket challenge (raised 115 million in 2.5 months) were successful because they engaged a wide community in a fun challenge that was humorous (funny content on social media is shared 25 times more than other content) and was shared through the vehicle of tagging to get others involved (what I call hain reaction marketing). Team captains can be a diverse group of committed supporters for any organization. They galvanize their community of supporters through the common purpose of supporting the cause and winning prizes as Corporations love to have employees get involved in Fund Duels because they create unity and an ethos of working together for a greater good.

Linda Carey of The Tutu Project

Linda, how has the pandemic affected your fundraising efforts?

“2020 and 2021 were challenging years, however people were generous with their donations. Because of those donations we were able to release an immediate 15K when the stay at home was enforced to help those patients unable to work during the pandemic. We continue to offer grants throughout the year.”

“This year has been a little slower, since our annual fundraiser, Dare Tutu on Sept. 15^th which runs for Two Months, adds Carey. That is why we are excited to join forces with Artist Albina Zorina and her team at Fund Duel to raise funds for October Breast Awareness Month on September 22 on Fun Duel, Be generous.”
