Tips for creating a great fundraiser:

  • Gather your images before you start - a banner and a logo. Maybe use the free banner templates from something like canva to provide creativity for your own banner.

  • Write the title and description in a document first, then just copy and paste them into the fundraising page.

  • format the text to provide easy reading

  • Choose a suitable video to add to the page to give people more information about what you are raising funds for. Maybe you could create your own promo video?

  • TELL PEOPLE! No-one will donate if you don't promote your page!! Get the link and send it on emails, in social media. Use your imagination! You could even create a QR code using the link and spread those around.
