Fundraising Tips

Checklist
  • Set a fundraising goal, then decide to stick to that goal OR to be daring and raise even more before the event.
    Update your participant profile.
  • Clearly explain your motivation for participating. Research indicates that participants who share a personal story and maintain their personal page earn 9.5 times more.
  • Make a personal donation of an amount which would elicit a “WOW, what a generous gift!” » if someone else was the donor. Research shows that self-donors raise an average of 3.5 times more.
  • Draw up a list of people to contact from each of your networks: friends, family, acquaintances, neighbors, co-workers, professional contacts, sports partners, classmates, service providers.
  • Determine the best method to reach each person according to the table below.
  • Call five loved ones to ask them to give a gift equivalent to yours.
  • Create a short-term goal. For example, “Today I am trying to raise $500 and I need your help! “.
  • Save your personal page in your favorites so you can send it quickly to someone you come across by chance.
  • Share the progress of your physical preparation with your network.
