Tips on sharing my reading challenge with family and friends to launch my fundraiser

Ready to start raising money? You have a few options to share your fundraiser so your supporters can register and join in on the fun.

Updated over a week ago

OK, now that you've built your teams, created your story, and connected to Stripe to accept online donations, your final step is to share and launch your fundraiser.

Here are some options you can do that makes launching your fundraiser easy to do:

Option #1 - Share your administrator donation page

All registered users to your fundraiser (including you) have a public donation page that provides easy access to donate to your reading challenge. That said, your administrator donation page also has another option and displays a JOIN FUNDRAISER button. So in a sense, you can just share your donation page and whoever clicks on the button can instantly register to join your fundraiser.

To share your administrator donation page, click on the PREVIEW button. Then, when you get to your public donation page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the COPY button. Once you've done that, you can paste it into any form of communication.

TIP: Sharing your donation page with families is a great way to drive additional profits for families who might not join your fundraiser but would like to donate.

Option #2 - Copy/paste your fundraiser share link with others

A simple way to share and launch your fundraiser is to copy your private invite link and paste it into any form of communication. This link will provide families a direct link to your fundraiser registration page so that they can join the fun.

To access your private fundraiser share link, click on the INVITE STUDENTS button on the top menu in your administrator dashboard.

Then, click on the copy link button. Once you do that, you will receive a notification that your invite link has been copied to your clipboard. From there you can paste it into any form of communication. The link will connect your families directly to your fundraiser page to start their registration.

TIP: Paste your invite link into emails you send out to families as well as post it on your social (Facebook page) and school website.

Option #3 - Create a custom parent letter

If you are looking for a more detailed story to send to your supporters, you can share a custom parent letter that has your community message, goals, and instructions for families to register and join your fundraiser.

To create your parent letter, click on the INVITE STUDENTS button on the top menu of your administrator dashboard and then select the PRINT PARENT LETTER option.

You can easily print your parent letter or copy and paste it into any other document form to save/send as an attachment. All of the links as well as QR code will work just fine once you paste it into your preferred method of communication.

TIP: Copy/paste and create a PDF document. It's an easy way to attach a digital file that can be sent over email to inform and connect your families to register for your fundraiser on Read for My School.
