How Fundraising on Donors Works

Donors is the trusted place to fundraise for what you care about. With no pressure to hit your fundraising goal, but helpful tools to help you reach it, you can confidently start fundraising.

1. Follow the prompts to set up your campaign

  • Click the ‘Start a Campaign’ button and answer a few questions to get started
  • Add a photo or video for your fundraiser (You can always change this later)
  • In your fundraiser description, share the reason you are fundraising in 1-3 paragraphs
    • Add details such as:
      • Who or what you’re fundraising for
      • How funds will be used
  • Finally, you’re asked to put a goal amount for your fundraiser based on your goal.

2. Share your fundraiser

  • Share your fundraiser link with your closest friends and family through text messages and emails to start gaining momentum
  • Post your fundraiser more broadly by using social media, sharing in-person with a printable poster, or writing a letter to people you know
  • Continue to share your fundraiser each day to help reach your goals.

3. Withdraw

  • Add bank information or other payment methods to start receiving funds (you don’t need to hit your fundraising goal to receive your money)
  • Add a beneficiary bank information if you’re raising donations for someone else
