Three secrets to a successful fundraising campaign
Spread the word
Let your social media followers know about your campaign. Here’s a sample post you can share, along with a private message you can use to reach out directly to friends and family.
Speak from the heart
Tell people why you are raising funds for Sainte-Justine so they feel inspired to support you with a donation.
Make your fundraising page personal
Add a picture or a special message explaining your goal in more detail and letting the people in your community know what you hope to achieve by being a part of the Youth Tree of Lights campaign.
Share your fundraising page on social media
Posting a link to your fundraising page on your social media accounts is a fantastic way to get people’s attention and win over potential donors. And remember to tag individual donors in the comments and thank them for supporting your efforts — it’ll help take your visibility to even greater heights!
You can even share a story of your own about Sainte-Justine or explain what made you decide to join the Youth Tree of Lights campaign. Your followers will feel more motivated to sponsor you if you make it personal.
Social media visuals you can download and use
Like the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are some visuals you can use to capture people’s attention and encourage them to donate to your fundraising page.
Share a link to your fundraising page in a DM or email
Send a personal message to your friends and followers with a link to your fundraising page.
