Why is raising awareness important?

When you take the time to help raise awareness for a specific cause or charity, you provide a valuable service by getting the word out. The more people who know about, understand and care about a cause, the better the organization's chances of having the impact it strives for.

Raising awareness for St. Jude helps us continue our lifesaving mission of advancing cures and means of prevention for catastrophic pediatric diseases through research and treatment.

 
 

3 effective ways to raise awareness

 

1. Spread the word on social media

Social media is a great place to share fundraising and awareness campaigns. Whether it's on Facebook, TikTok or another platform, your campaign has the potential to reach hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people and encourage them to support your cause. If you want to start an awareness or fundraising campaign on social media, check out our "storytelling for awareness and fundraising” guide for some helpful tips.

 

2. Host an awareness or fundraising event

Another way to tell people about your cause is through an awareness or fundraising event. Whether it's a fitness event, a video game marathon or something else, fundraising events can raise awareness for your cause and lead to donations. Check out our tips on how to plan a fundraiser.

 

3. Help recruit volunteers

Encouraging friends, family, coworkers and others to volunteer for your cause or charity is an effective way to raise awareness while providing valuable support. For many charities, monetary donations are the best way to make a difference. But donating your time, and finding others to join you, can be equally impactful for some causes.
