Anewera Volunteer and Fundraiser Community

Anewera is an an online virtual community blog service featuring information regarding volunteering, fundraising, donations, and charitable life.  Anewera uses social networking and photo sharing and classified ads for volunteer opportunities. Anewera is a brand that stands for the lifestyle of charitable giving and when you wear an Anewera hat or tee shirt or sweatshirt, everyone will know you care about giving back.

Anewera taps into the power of the crowd and to stand up for causes.  Our first post is about Internet fund raising, which is a way to go a step beyond donating or volunteering for your favorite charity.  Create an online fundraising page, share your personal stories, photos and videos, and become an internet fundraiser. If you're doing a walkathon for charity, set your own personal fundraising page. If you're volunteering at a refugee camp in Africa, set up your own personal fundraising page. At Anewera, we believe that any time you're answering the call to service, you should ask your friends, family, classmates and co-workers to sponsor you so you can raise money for charity.


TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL INTERNET FUND RAISING

Internet fundraising is all about creating a personal connection with your supporters. Anewera's unique approach is to not only give you the tools to leverage your social networks and reach out to the entire Anewera community of volunteers and fundraisers, but it makes the entire experience fun. For example, you'll see irreverent messaging throughout your internet fund-raising like "if this person doesn't donate, there's no reason to buy them a birthday or holiday gift ever again." To keep your supporters engaged, upload tons of photos and videos and personal stories and use the Anewera status bar to constantly update your supporters about your internet fundraising campaign.

Anewera is a big believer in instant, very personal thank you messages that explain to the donor exactly how their money will be used. If you do it well, your donors will share your thank you messages on their Anewera, Facebook and Twitter pages so all their friends can learn about your internet fund raising campaign. The idea is to take your project viral so you can have a bigger impact on the causes that you're most passionate about.
