Fundraising Tip and Guide
Planning to raise funds for a meaningful cause? At fundme we’re here to help you succeed. Whether you're starting your first campaign or you're a seasoned organizer, follow these proven tips to help you reach your goal.
Write a descriptive fundraiser title
Your fundraiser title is often the first thing donors see. Make it clear and powerful.
- State exactly what you're fundraising for
- Use names if applicable
- Start with an action word like Help, Support, or Donate
Example: “Help Amina get a new wheelchair”
Description should be detailed as possible
Use honest and heartfelt language, just like explaining it to a friend. Aim for 500+ characters.
- Who is the fundraiser for?
- Why is this important?
- Break down how funds will be used
Example:“LE 1,000 will cover transport, and LE 9,000 will help pay for medical leave.”
Use high-quality photos
Photos bring your story to life. Choose real, high-resolution images of the person or cause.
Spread the word in different ways
Don’t rely on one platform. Share on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and even offline using flyers or SMS.
Each new sharing method boosts your visibility by up to 2.5x!
Use specifics when sharing
Never just post the link. Always add a personal sentence or two.
Example: “I'm raising LE 10,000 to help my uncle get surgery. Even LE 20 helps.”
Suggest donation amounts to guide supporters.
Post regular updates
Post within the first 7 days, then weekly or at major milestones.
Include photos, and share them on your social channels. Campaigns with updates raise up to 3x more.
Thank your donors
Gratitude inspires giving. Thank each donor individually or publicly.
