Fundraising Tips & Resources

The Gut Friendly Challenge is an easy, and fun way to make a real difference for those living with IBD! ​

General fundraising strategies

• Don't be afraid to ask for support. You never know who may have a connection to IBD and an interest in supporting your efforts. You may get a few "no's" along the way, but don't let that discourage you!  

Share your personal connection to IBD and why you're fundraising. 

• Fundraisers who personalize their ask raise 4X more than those who don't! 

Set a fundraising goal and create a roadmap to get there.
