Setting up your own fundraising page is a great way to manage donations and share your campaign with your network. It’s easy to set up and track your progress in real-time. Below are simple instructions to guide you through setting up your fundraising page on popular platforms.
Start by choosing a fundraising platform that best suits your needs. Here are some popular options:
• GoFundMe
These platforms are trusted, user-friendly, and allow you to share your campaign easily on social media.
Once you’ve chosen a platform, you’ll need to create an account. Follow these simple steps:
• Create an account (or log in if you already have one).
• Select ‘Start a Fundraiser.’
• Add your campaign details (name, description, goal).
• Upload an image (you can use the Shelton Shelters logo if desired).
• Set your donation goal and deadline.
Your page will be live and ready to start receiving donations!
Once your page is set up, share it with your network! You can share the link on your social media profiles, via email, or in any other way you prefer. Here’s how:
• Copy the link to your page.
• Paste it in your social media posts, emails, or messages to encourage donations.
Make sure to add a personal message to make it more engaging!
All fundraising platforms provide easy-to-use dashboards where you can track your donations and see how you’re progressing towards your goal. Just log in to your account to view real-time updates on your donations and thank your supporters as they donate!
