Many donors also make it a priority to show their love for nonprofits during this particular holiday. Animal nonprofits tend to see a lot of success from holiday-themed fundraisers. Who doesn&#8217;t want to see pets in costumes or on Valentine&#8217;s Day cards?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kitsap Humane Society recognized this and launched their My Furry Valentine campaign in partnership with Kitsap Propane. For the campaign, they created five Valentine&#8217;s Day eCards donors could send to their significant others, friends, and family in exchange for a donation to their organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Kitsap-Humane-Society-My-Furry-Valentine-Campaign-Page.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Kitsap-Humane-Society-My-Furry-Valentine-Campaign-Page-700x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Kitsap Humane Society rocks their holiday-themed fundraisers.

For instance, environmental organizations can host a tree planting fundraiser for Arbor Day or a volunteer service day to clean up trash on Earth Day. Both holidays revolve around caring for the planet, and who does that better than environmental nonprofits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, you can also make use of more mainstream holidays to create holiday-themed fundraisers throughout the year. Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and other holidays can provide a great theme to build fundraisers around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more bright ideas to grow your fundraising?
