When organizations partner with celebrity influencers and online giving, their mission can get maximized through social sharing and fundraising. Launching a celebrity partnership can feel like an intimidating project, but let’s breakdown a straightforward approach for how you can manage a celebrity-endorsed program. Your celebrity should also help you deepen your engagement with your existing target market or help you branch into a new area you are trying to advance.

Both of them involved celebrities. And I couldn’t help think to myself, “oh, so all we need to do to raise funds for a great cause is get a celebrity? But, I looked at both case studies again, more deeply, and realized that both of them weren’t really about the celebrity at all. The celebrity involvement was part of the branding, not part of the winning solution. Getting Over Celebrities. Celebrities are out; Trust is in.

This year on #GivingTuesday, Learning to Give is asking teachers to join the international movement to celebrate an opening day to the giving season by doing what they do best, by teaching. I love #GivingTuesday. I know, I’ve said that before…and you’ve caught me in the act again. Guilty. But I also know it’s a movement that just makes me happy, a charge to expand goodness in the world, so if I’m going to love something, it’s a perfect choice.

Lady Gaga & Celebrity Philanthropy. But did you know she topped the list of most charitable Celebs in 2010 , as ranked by Do Something , by how much energy celebrities devote to cause? If you want to know which celebrities gave the most that's another list. What I find transformative about Lady Gaga’s celebrity philanthropy is that while she definitely has favorite causes, a significant part of her message is encouraging people to volunteer and take action.

Add celebrities to the social fundraising mix and you’ve got a sure fired recipe for success, so we think.
