Tips For Crowdfunding Success

1. Set up your online fundraiser.

Start fundraising as an individual: set a goal, choose an end date for your campaign — give yourself at least a month.

2. Get personal.

Tell people why you are fundraising. Whether you want to show your solidarity for Indigenous sovereignty, help to safeguard orcas, caribou, and forests, or protect biodiversity: share your passion! Let your family and friends know why this matters to you.

3. Spread the word.

It’s always best to start by emailing your close contacts because they are the most likely to donate. Try sending some quick personal messages to your inner circle to build up some momentum. Then send a more general email to reach all of your other contacts.

4. Share on social media.

One of the best strategies to use on social media is tagging and thanking people that have already donated while you are asking for new donations. This spreads your message further and lets the people you are asking know that people are already supporting your fundraiser.
