Read moreYou’ll likely have a lot of questions when it comes to personal fundraising. Don’t worry, this guide will take you through the personal fundraising process step-by-step.
Almost everyone who uses crowdfunding is new to fundraising, but with GoGetFunding anyone can have an awesome fundraising page accepting donations in no time!
Here are some questions you are likely to be asking yourself:
Anything – and that’s the beauty of crowdfunding!
Thousands of people have used GoGetFunding to raise money for amazing
causes such as medical expenses, legal fees; vet bills, and so much more!
We understand how hard it is asking for money, no matter how urgent or desperate the need is. Crowdfunding has established itself as a safe, acceptable way to open up and ask others for help.
Reaching out to those closest to you can often be a huge relief, not only for you, but for those around you who may have been watching your struggles, unsure how to help.
If you have access to the internet, you have access to crowdfunding. It’s as simple as that! Whether you use your phone, tablet, laptop or computer you have everything you need, quite literally at your fingertips!
Research which site best suits your needs. Is it user-friendly, what support is there, and what donation methods can you use?
But also check the small print – what are the fees, how quickly can you access donations, what happens if you don’t reach your target, are donors charged for donating?
Knowing all this in advance can prevent costly mistakes or disappointment later on.
Here is a checklist of things to include or consider for your campaign:
GoGetFunding is user-friendly and easy to navigate. You will find yourself guided every step of the way and have access day and night to real fundraising coaches and customer service assistants trained to maximise your fundraising success!
For most fundraisers this is the hardest part, but all you need to remember to include are these four things:
Our research has shown that the most successful campaigns are between 300 – 600 words. Try to make it long enough to share your story, but short enough to make sure your potential donors don’t abandon your page before donating, but above all, be yourself!
They say a picture paints a thousand words – and this couldn’t be more true with crowdfunding! The right photo can increase the amount you raise significantly, so why stop at one? Campaigns on GoGetFunding have galleries where you can add unlimited photos. And, if photos can do that, imagine the power of a video!
Adding a 2-3 minute video (whether it is professional or a quick recording on your smartphone) takes your campaign to the next level – improving trustworthiness, expanding your donor’s knowledge of your cause and having a lasting effect on them.
Crowdfunding helps people raise money, fast. However, you’ll still want your campaign to really stand out! GoGetFunding knows this and that’s why we offer a fantastic range of features designed to help you make your campaign totally rock!
Personalise your campaign by:
If you want something more advanced, we have even more features to help, such as embeddable widgets, multi-language support, downloadable donor records and more, just check out your dashboard for all of the tools at your disposal.
To make your campaign a success, it’s important to be proactive. You can promote your campaign in lots of ways:
Don’t think this list is exhaustive! We’ve seen some pretty ingenious ways our fundraisers have promoted their campaigns over the years! From simple printed T-shirts and car stickers, through to major fundraising events attracting TV, news, magazines, and even the occasional major celebrity or three!
Your donors are important and love to feel valued. So why not give a little back? There are lots of ways to show them how much you appreciate their support:
At GoGetFunding, we offer three donation options:
All three are global providers allowing you to accept card and PayPal donations from people all over the world. They will not only keep your donations secure, but will make sure you can access and withdraw them as quickly and effortlessly as possible.
There’s no guarantee that your campaign is going to reach its target, but after all that hard work, we believe you deserve to keep any funds that you raise. Please note: some sites automatically refund donors if you don’t hit your target.
Our fundraising coaches and customer support team are on hand day and night to help with anything you need while you create, manage and promote your campaign. You’ll hear them cheering you on, every step of the way!
