Fundraising Tips
Set a goal and make the first donation towards it. Demonstrate that you are raising funds for a cause you believe is worthy enough to invest in.
Pick up the phone! Call your grandma, your college roommate, text your family group chat. Most people are excited and willing to help – they just need to be asked.
Send a Venmo request for your friends to help. $10 at a time adds up fast, and some people will decide to give more.
Update your walk for life page! One study shows that participants who update their personal pages raise 6-18 times more than those who do not.
Use social media. Super easy and super simple. Facebook and Instagram have proven to be the most effective platforms.
Host a bake sale, pool party, or game night to ask for donations.
