Fundraising Tips Guide

Create a Clear and Descriptive Title

Your fundraiser’s title is often the first thing people notice. Make it clear and straightforward, especially including names if it’s for a specific person or cause.

• Example: "Help Harpreet Rebuild His Home After the Flood"

Write a Detailed Fundraiser Description

When writing your fundraiser description, be as specific as possible and explain your cause honestly. Share your story in a way that helps donors connect with the importance of the fundraiser.

• Highlight who the fundraiser is for and why it’s important.
• Break down the costs involved to give donors a clear understanding of the financial goal.

Example: “Funds raised will be used for Harpreet’s home repairs: ₹50,000 for materials and ₹30,000 for labor.”

Use High-Quality Photos and Videos

Visuals help tell your story! Choose clear, high-resolution photos or videos that relate directly to your cause. Avoid using stock images when possible to keep it personal.

• Add more images or a video to give donors a better idea of the impact their support will make.

Share Your Fundraiser Regularly

Start sharing your fundraiser as soon as you create it—within 10 hours if possible. Directly reach out to your closest friends and family first to build momentum.

• Fundraisers that are shared within the first three days are twice as likely to succeed.
• Don’t be shy to share multiple times over the first few days to maximize your visibility.

Spread the Word in Different Ways

Using a variety of methods to share your fundraiser helps it reach a broader audience. You can use social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or email to share the link.

• Every time you share your fundraiser in a new way, you increase its visibility. You can even post flyers in local areas to spread the word offline.

Be Specific When Sharing Your Fundraiser

When you share your fundraiser link, add a short sentence explaining why you're raising money. This helps people quickly understand your goals and motivates them to donate.

• Example: "I’m raising money to help my uncle, Harpreet, rebuild his home after the flood. Any amount helps, whether it's ₹500 or ₹1,000."

Post Regular Updates

Keep your donors and supporters updated by posting regular updates about your progress. Updates at key milestones, such as when you’re halfway to your goal, help keep people engaged.

• Our data shows that regular updates can help you raise up to 3 times more. Share updates on social media as well to encourage further donations.

Thank Your Donors

Always thank your donors for their support. Gratitude goes a long way and can inspire others to contribute as well.

• Use the ‘Thank Your Donors’ feature in your fundraiser dashboard to send personalized messages.
• Publicly thank your donors on social media to spread the word and show appreciation.
