Call Centre Fundraisers & BPOs

If you are looking for ways to raise revenue for your charity, not-for-profit organisation, or business, engaging a call centre fundraiser is one of the most important decisions you can make.

Outsourcers and BPOs (Business Process Outsourcers) that specialise in fundraising have developed unique skills, technology, systems and processes to ensure they can engage new and existing donors to support your worthy cause or endeavour, whilst representing the values of your brand.

Whilst the actual moment of customer contact is obviously important, engaging a specialist fundraising company can also help support you with obtaining and cleansing a new telemarketing list or one of yours, setting up reporting, system integration, payment gateways and so on, to ensure your campaign delivers a positive Return on Investment.

Then there's scripting, compliance, managing callbacks, etc., that will improve your success and ensure you don't face expensive fines for breaches of the Do Not Call Register, Telemarketing laws, etc.

In short, hiring a specialist call centre fundraiser will ensure you maximise revenue opportunities for your organisation.

Popular Fundraising Channels

There are a variety of ways Call Centre Fundraisers/BPOs can engage with new and existing donors, and many of the fundraising outsourcing specialists will offer some or all of the options below.

Telemarketing and Phone Fundraising - Telemarketing is a direct and personal approach to connect with donors. Outsourcers use phone fundraising to engage supporters, share compelling stories, and solicit donations. This channel allows for real-time interaction and relationship-building.
Direct Mail Campaigns - Direct mail remains a traditional yet effective method for fundraising. Outsourcers design and execute targeted direct mail campaigns to reach potential donors through personalized letters, brochures, and donation forms.

Online Fundraising Platforms - Leveraging the power of the internet, fundraising outsourcers use online platforms to host campaigns, accept donations, and engage with donors. This includes crowdfunding platforms, dedicated fundraising websites, and social media channels.

Email Marketing Campaigns - Email is a cost-effective and efficient way to communicate with a large audience. Outsourcers develop targeted email campaigns to share updates, success stories, and fundraising appeals, encouraging recipients to make online donations.
Social Media Engagement - Social media platforms provide a dynamic space for outreach and engagement. Fundraising outsourcers use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to share impactful content, connect with supporters, and drive online donations.
