1) Have Permission: Although some may like the surprise, others may not. Try to get the permission of the individual you’re raising money for. If that’s not possible, get approval from their closest family members.
2) Be Transparent: Some donors won’t know you so explain who you are, how you’re connected to the friend or family in need and how exactly money will be sent to them
3) Create a Team: Don’t take all the work on yourself. Add other friends and family members to the campaign page so you have a solid and trusted fundraising team.
4) Post Regular Updates: Donors want to connect with the person in need so post updates as often as possible. This is also a great strategy to boost donations and engage a wider audience
5) Enjoy It! Taking the initiative and raising money and love for a friend or family in need is great gesture. Enjoy the experience and the difference you’re making to the person’s life.
