Here are some simple tips to help you smash your fundraising goal.
If you are using an online platform, make a donation to yourself
Start your fundraising with a step in the right direction by making a donation to your own page. People are more likely to donate the same amount (or more) to you as they follow your example!
Personalise your online fundraising page
Take your supporters with you on your fundraising journey and personalize your fundraising page. Simply upload an image of yourself and explain in your own words why you’re fundraising and why this cause is so important to you.!
SMS friends, family & all
Fundraisers who share their page by SMS raise 46% more than those who don’t! Share your page with friends and family first to help boost the average donation. Share your story via SMS with a link to your fundraising page or a request for donations.
Email your friends
Send an email to your family, friends, and workmates encouraging them to support your fundraising efforts and include the link to your fundraising page. You may even like to invite them to join you in your challenge and contribute by fundraising through their own networks.
Share your efforts on Instagram and Facebook
Post a link to your fundraising page, or stories about your personal fundraising journey on Facebook or Instagram to let your friends know how they can support you.
