Identify Your Goals: Set a specific fundraising target. This will help you stay focused and give your supporters something to strive for.
Gather Media: Photos and videos play a huge role in making your campaign stand out. Share your story visually so donors can connect with your cause.

3. Campaign Tips & Best Practices

Here are some tips to help you run a successful fundraising campaign:

Be Personal and Authentic

Share your personal story. Why is this cause important to you? Why should people care? Authenticity builds trust.
Use storytelling to create an emotional connection with potential donors. People are more likely to donate when they feel personally involved in your journey.

Use High-Quality Media

Great photos and videos can make a big difference. Invest time in capturing visuals that tell your story powerfully.
If possible, include images of you or your community directly benefiting from the donations.

Set Realistic Goals

Break your fundraising goals into manageable chunks. If your goal is large, create sub-goals so people can see the progress you're making.
Be transparent about how you plan to use the funds.

Provide Regular Updates

Keep your supporters informed about your progress. Share updates on how the funds are being used, the challenges you face, and your successes. People love to see the impact of their donation.

Offer Rewards or Recognition

Consider providing rewards for donors, such as thank-you notes, shout-outs on social media, or exclusive updates. Small gestures can go a long way.

4. Managing Your Campaign

Once your campaign is live, here’s how to manage it:

Monitor Your Campaign

Use your campaign dashboard to monitor donations, track progress, and respond to any messages from donors.
You can view the total amount raised, set milestones, and evaluate how well your campaign is performing.

Engage with Your Supporters

Don’t just wait for donations. Thank your donors publicly, reply to their messages, and keep them involved in your journey.
You can send direct messages or update your campaign page with new information.

Adjust Your Goals if Needed

If your initial goal is reached faster than expected, consider increasing it to take advantage of the momentum.
If you’re struggling to meet your goal, be transparent about it and share why every little bit counts.

5. Fundraiser Integrity & Rules

We have a strict code of conduct to ensure that all fundraisers are ethical and transparent:

No False Claims: You must not make misleading claims about how funds will be used. Be honest and clear about your needs.
Respect Privacy: Do not share personal details (of yourself or others) without consent.
No Discrimination: Your campaign must not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, or any other protected characteristic.
Compliance: All fundraisers must adhere to local and international laws regarding fundraising and financial transactions.

6. Communicating with Donors

Acknowledge Donations: Always thank your donors, either publicly or privately. Acknowledging their support makes them feel valued and encourages future contributions.
Share Impact Stories: Regularly update donors on how their contributions are making a difference. This will keep them engaged and more likely to contribute again.
Keep Communication Clear and Respectful: Be transparent with any changes to your campaign or progress. If something unexpected happens, let your supporters know.

7. Platform Fees & Fundraising Costs

Platform Fees: Give and Hope Foundation charges a small fee to cover administrative costs and maintain the platform. This is a percentage of the total funds raised (typically around 5%).
Payment Processing Fees: In addition to platform fees, there may be processing fees depending on the payment provider. These are typically around 2-3% of each transaction.
