Fundraising Tips
Quick Fundraising Tips
1. Start Early. The sooner you start fundraising the more time you'll have to share your story with friends and family.
2. Set your fundraising goal. Give yourself something to aim for. Many people who set a goal from the beginning end up raising more than they thought they would!
3. Make a personal donation. Be the first to show your commitment to animals in need. This personal "buy-in" will show your friends and family that this is an important cause to you.
4. Share your "Why". Share your love for animals by telling a personal story. You can even upload videos and photos of the animals in your life.
5. Send Emails. Sending emails is a really great way to get your message out to everyone you think may support you. You can even encourage giving by letting them know if they make a donation you'll brighten their day with a photo of your pet.
6. Reach out on social media. Send messages and share your fundraising page on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others!
