How to Set up facebook fundraiser:
The average Facebook Fundraiser campaign raises $150 or more. We now have the opportunity to make Facebook Fundraisers that are integrated with Donor Drive. All of your donations from the Facebook Fundraiser will be synced to your Donor Drive account, and the donations will show up as “Facebook Donors” in your Donor Drive. Your description and your goal on your Facebook Fundraiser will come from your Donor Drive account.
3 Ways to Fundraise:
1. Post on Social Media
Each individual person involved in Miracle has a unique set of family, friends, and followers. The popularization of social media has transformed fundraising over the last several years, and we are able to reach more people than ever before. Social Media posts can be done on various different platforms, and we have provided templates that can be copied for easy use on all of your favorite social media outlets.
2. Ask Family and Friends to Donate
Share with your friends and family what Dance Marathon is and why you are passionate about it. You can also write handwritten letters to family members or send emails to co- workers or colleagues. An email template is included with the fundraising resources provided.
3. Sell Clothes, Babysit, Etc.
Get creative with your fundraising and sell clothes online or at second hand stores and donate the money to your donor drive. You can offer to babysit for family friends or neighbors and donate the money. You can also offer to drive your friends for a night out in return for a donation to your donor drive.
