brainstorming-
1. IMANA has created a distributable flyer

for donations, so people can fax their credit card numbers or whatever directly. This would be great during taraweeh or something – put one on every car or something.
2. I also think giving people concrete information about how funds/donated items are distributed overall helps. Also things like ” $1 feeds x # people” is a good way to put things into perspective.
3. Put a laptop with images from the flood ( http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/severe_flooding_in_pakistan.html )arranged into a slideshow next to a collection box at the masjid. Again- taraweeh is prime time to reach people. Make sure you clearly write somewhere where the collected funds will be sent to. Make a large poster with a daily tally on it so people know how much is being raised in the community.
4. Turn iftars into fundraisers. Put a collection jar right by where people line up to get their Samosas.
