Challenge for Access

Fundraising Tips:

We know that the fundraiser part of this challenge can sometimes be the most daunting part.  (We feel the same way at times!!)  Here are a few tips that we have learned along the way:

Do:

  • ​send your post to specific friends & family members through a DM to ensure they actually see the post
  • personalize your emails by including their name and any other info specific to that person (i.e. I'm excited to see you at Thanksgiving!)
  • post/send regular progress pictures of YOU completing the challenge throughout the month
  • Include your personal fundraising page link on everything you send and easy! 
  • Create a free QR code leading to your personal page - put the QR code on printed cards or plan ahead and print a shirt with your QR code to wear everywhere
  • Talk about it - at work, school, community events, shopping, sky writing, etc. People get excited when they see others doing things to help others!

Don't

  • ​just use social media
  • send generic mass emails (personalize it!!)
  • only use the graphics we sent you
  • make it complicated for someone to donate
