Fundraising Tips
Simple ways to hit your fundraising minimum, and two tools to help.
Fundraising calculator
See how many people you need to ask, and how much to raise each week.
Ask message
Fill this in, copy it, and send it to people one at a time.
What works
Start the day you get in
Fundraising gets harder close to race day, when everyone else is asking too.
Say why it matters to you
One honest sentence about why you picked this charity does more than any reminder.
Ask people one at a time
A direct text gets a much better answer than a group post.
Ask your company to match
Many employers match donations, which doubles every gift.
Share your training
Long-run updates remind people you're putting in the work.
Thank every donor by name
Public thanks reminds everyone else to give.
Ask again in the last two weeks
Most people give right before race day. Don't be shy about one more ask.
Ask about a top fundraiser award
Some charities reward their biggest fundraisers. A goal past the minimum keeps you going.
