Three steps, done in order, raise the most money in the fewest days.
Invite your team
The fastest way to your goal is a team of 8 to 10 committed people who actively share your fundraiser. Ask each of them to post consistently, explain their connection to you, and say why they are supporting your cause.
- Find 8 to 10 people who will say yes
- Give them clear instructions
- Empower them with simple talking points
Tell your story
Keep the message under two paragraphs and make sure it is clear, direct, and easy to understand. A story people can take in at a glance is a story they will give to.
- Who you are supporting
- What's going on
- Why you're asking for support
Send daily updates
People love to follow a story. A short post every day keeps your fundraiser at the top of your supporters' minds, and gives your team something new to share.
- Daily life: a quick photo or story from your day
- Progress: how close you are to your goal
- Personal moments: why this support matters to you
- Challenges: a recent hurdle you have faced
- Gratitude: thank donors and show their impact
