Before #GivingTuesday

Your community needs you this Giving Tuesday 🚒 Next Tuesday is Giving Tuesday — a day when communities rally around the causes that keep them safe. We're launching a campaign to fund critical equipment upgrades for our volunteer firefighters. Our goal: raise enough to purchase new protective gear for 15 volunteers who risk their lives for our community every day. Thanks to Zeffy, 100% of your donation goes directly to equipment — not to platform fees or processing costs. Be one of the first 10 donors to kick off our campaign. Your early gift builds momentum and shows other supporters that our firefighters have what they need to protect us all. Thank you for standing with our volunteers when they need it most. – Your Volunteer Fire Department Team

Giving Tuesday Campaigns Ideas for Volunteer Fire Departments

Idea 1

🚒 Gear-Up Drive

Supporters sponsor essential gear (helmets, boots, oxygen tanks) at set price points. Show a live progress tracker and let donors choose which equipment to fund.

Idea 2

📝 Heroes Deserve Thanks

Community members write thank-you notes to your volunteers. A local business sponsors $10 per note (up to your goal), funding new equipment while boosting morale.

Idea 3

🔥 Flash Auction for First Responders

Run a 24-hour online auction with donated items from local businesses. Simple buy-it-now pricing keeps it moving fast, and every bid helps fund training or gear.

Idea 4

📚 Train-a-Hero Fund

Supporters sponsor a firefighter's training course ($100-$500 levels). Show progress toward your training goal and let donors pick which skills to fund.

Idea 5

🥞 Breakfast with Heroes

Host a community pancake breakfast with simple ticket tiers. All proceeds fund station maintenance while neighbors meet the heroes who protect them.

Idea 6

🛒 Station Supply Drive

Create a "Station Wishlist" with everyday needs (coffee, cleaning supplies, tools). Donors claim items at cost, and you pick up locally.
