Though the winter holidays and year-end seem like the most significant
fundraising time, don’t underestimate your springtime fundraising
potential. As the fight for life intensifies, it’s time to advance your
fundraising strategy and efforts.
Financial support is one of the foundations for tangibly supporting even
more women, babies, and families. More funds equal more IMPACT.
What a privilege we have to invite others into the mission of life with
the resources and tools God has given them. For every abortion clinic
in the United States, there are four times as many pregnancy centers.
Let this statistic inspire you to keep going as you see the impact that
fundraising truly has on your local community and the nation.

strategy to see results:
- Setup seasonal fundraising events (online or in-person)
- Create a spring fundraising campaign (online or in-person)
- Aim to increase your monthly partners

This guide will expand on these key elements to give you insights for successful yearlong fundraising and unique spring ideas.
Spring Fundraising: Event Ideas
Spring is unlike every other season, requiring unique spring fundraising strategies.
Think of dates and events to promote related to the season you’re in. What Spring
events are coming up that you would want to highlight or promote?
Think of spring weather, getting outside, bike-a-thons, Walk for Life events, etc. People
love any excuse to get outside with their family after being cooped up in winter! Spring
is an excellent time to kick off any fundraising you are doing for a new ultrasound
machine/services, an additional center location, or even a mobile clinic.
