Tips For Running Your Campaign
When running your own fundraiser on GoFundMe, start by setting a clear, specific goal. This helps potential donors understand exactly what their contributions will support. Break down the goal into tangible needs—whether it’s providing housing, therapy services, or food for teens in need. Be transparent about where the money will go, and update donors regularly on the campaign's progress. Sharing your story and the cause you care about is a powerful way to connect with people and inspire them to contribute.
Promote your fundraiser through multiple channels to maximize reach. Share it on social media, send personal emails to friends and family, and ask your network to help spread the word. The more you engage with your supporters and make the campaign personal, the more likely people will be to donate. Don’t forget to thank everyone who contributes, and provide updates on how their donations are making a difference. The more transparent and engaging you are, the more people will feel connected to your cause and motivated to help.
