    Tips from ItsME to make your fundraiser a success

    With these tips, you can raise more donations:
    Tip 1. Create a personal fundraising page

    Tell your story, share photos, and explain why you started this fundraiser. People mainly support because they know you and want to help.

    Tip 2. First a few donations, then publicity

    Ask family and friends to donate first. A good example is contagious.

    Tip 3. Add the link to your email signature

    That way, everyone you email automatically sees your fundraiser.

    Tip 4. Talk about it and let people donate straight away

    At work, school, your club, or during parties: talk enthusiastically about your fundraiser and ask people to donate directly via their smartphone. Share the hyperlink to your fundraiser.

    Tip 5. Blog and share on social media

    Share your fundraiser’s progress, post updates, and repeat your message.

    Examples:

    • Share your preparations for a sports event and tag friends involved
    • Thank donors publicly, as this motivates others to join in too
    Tip 6. Start a final sprint

    The last two weeks often bring in the most donations. Ask your supporters to help you reach your target amount during that final stretch.

    Tip 7. Involve companies

    Approach your employer, clients, or suppliers for sponsorship. Thank them in a blog or place their logo on your fundraising page.

    Tip 8. Keep reminding people

    Not everyone donates immediately. Send friendly reminders by email or WhatsApp. Persistence pays off.
