FUNDRAISING IDEAS

Putting Your Used Mobile Phones to Best Use!

These words have been repeated several times over, across all the websites that promise to give advice on fundraising campaigns.  Most of the people fail in fundraising campaigns because they are unable to find a worthy cause or because they are unable to explain to the sponsors the use of their contribution.

At Phoneraiser you have both a noble cause and a clear explanation of how your sponsor’s contribution will benefit the community.  Surely, most of us have realized by now the hazards of improper disposal of used mobile phones. If that didn’t convince your sponsor to make a contribution this should!

A majority of the people have absolutely no idea about how our used cell phones are recycled.  The important thing is that most of the cell phones that we use could end up as toxic wastes poisoning the very air we breathe and the water we drink. To avoid this, safe disposal sites are set up to ensure proper disposal of used mobile phones.

When the used mobile phones enter the recycling plant, they end up giving back a lot of valuable metals including platinum and gold.  This is not to say that your mobile phones are made of gold or for you to imagine the metals in your mobile phones turning to gold by alchemy. But, mobile phones do contain a certain amount of gold.

Secondly, if trained technicians take care of your used mobile phones, they can separate working parts from the mobile phones to reuse them. Very rarely do all the parts of a mobile phone become trash. There is no end to the amount of savings that can be made in terms of material by recycling and reusing “old” mobile phones (old of course being relative). Here at Phoneraiser, we are “dated enough” to remember those massive blocks of things that we had in the cars, and that awful, but very useful, mobile phone that Zack on Saved by the Bell used. (Of course, we certainly don’t miss the massive phone bills that those phones came with… it’s money that we can put to good use!)

This should help you to persuade your sponsors. Armed with the technical knowledge of what happens behind the scenes in a mobile phone recycling plant, you can make an appealing request to your potential donor.  It certainly can’t be said often enough. Get your donors invested in the cause. People who are invested also become very good “spokespersons” for your cause, officially or unofficially.

The power of persuasion is not achieved without a solid reason to back up your cause. Phoneraiser gives you an opportunity to contribute to the community as a whole, while ensuring that you derive benefits out of your fundraising campaign. Recently several organizations have realized the importance and need for contributing to the community. This coupled with an easy way to raise funds seems ideal to most organizations.
