Tips for a successful fundraiser
A fundraiser that moves forward comes down to a few things: a true story, a clear goal and a link that travels.
- 1
A clear title
Say who and what you are raising funds for, in a few words. It is the first thing people read in a shared message.
- 2
A true story
Explain the situation, what the money will make possible and who you are. Write as you would talk to a loved one.
- 3
A photo that speaks
Choose a sharp image of the person or project. It is what appears in the link preview.
- 4
A fair goal
Set the amount you really need and detail the budget: donors trust what they understand.
- 5
A link that travels
Start with your loved ones, on WhatsApp: the first donations bring the next. Follow up several times, without embarrassment.
- 6
Regular news
Post updates to say thank you and show how the funds are used. An informed donor shares more readily.
