Start Your Fundraiser

Starting your fundraiser is the first (and most important) step in your crowdfunding journey. Once you’ve signed up, here’s how to get your campaign off the ground:

Set Your Fundraising Goal

Decide how much you want to raise. Don’t worry you can adjust it later if you hit your goal or need to scale.

Tell Your Story

Why are you fundraising? Be real, be specific. Whether it’s for a personal need, a cause you believe in, or someone you care about, clarity builds trust.

Add a Powerful Cover Image

A strong visual adds emotion and credibility. Show people what your fundraiser is about don’t leave it to imagination.

When you’re ready, hit “Publish” and you’re live.

Share Your Campaign

Getting the word out is just as important as creating your campaign. Here’s how to amplify your reach:

Email your network

Reach out to friends, family, colleagues. Add a personal note to explain why you’re raising funds.

Send direct messages

Group chats, text messages, even WhatsApp groups. Use the tools you already have.
