Hello again folks,
I'm wondering if anyone has tips or suggestions on how to improve donation box revenue. We just have a simple box with some boring laminated signage, and I'm wondering if anyone has eyecatching, creative, or clever ways of getting members to actually stop, think, and donate a little more often?
We have a $5 lifetime membership, and parts are largely by donation, but the box itself goes largely unused, and our volunteers and members end up putting it in the cash box more often than the actual donation box
Let me know, send photos, whatever you wish!
Thanks, La Bikery

Have a donations box with two silly bike related choices: presta or schrader?; barcons or thumbies?; tubeless or tubes?; Mr. Tuffies or Slime?; etc. Allow people to vote with their dollars. Really anything that creates engagement/elicits opinion.

During each Open Shop and class, we verbally and blatantly ask for donations. We make it a part of other announcements, we try to make it fun. We give people options: a donation box, a mail-in donation card for checks, an online option and via credit card using Square. We give people a basic guideline ("For profit shops charge $5 per hour and they don't provide assistance by staff or volunteers" )
