Create a Sign Explaining Your Campaign

Using a flyer, poster, or some other display, create a sign explaining your giving tree campaign. Make sure to include information about the Children’s Attention Home and how the money will be used. Download a copy of your customized QR code and include it on the poster along with instructions for giving.  Be sure to use words like “SCAN TO DONATE” or “SCAN NOW TO GIVE” to make your call to action clear.

Decorate the Tree

Put the ornaments in a basket or on a table with markers. Provide directions to instruct people to scan the QR code to make a donation.  After donating, they can write their name on an ornament and hang it on the tree.

Your QR code can be on the poster or you can print labels with the code to apply to each ornament.

If you would like, we can create ornaments with giving information for you to pick up!

Find a Great Place for Your Display

Display your tree front and center in your office lobby or the lobby of your office building, but why not think outside of the box? Contact local businesses, your community spaces or holiday festival organizers to ask if your tree can be placed inside. Why not make multiple trees and place them around town?  Be sure to have your tree up for any holiday gatherings hosted by your organization.  Don’t be too hasty about taking down your display. Remember that 11% of all donations come in the last three days of the year. Best of all, this tree requires no volunteers! Folks will be able to scan and give in just a few clicks with the online giving platform.
