How to Fundraise
Funds are typically raised through a combination of direct contributions from the organization and/or donations from customers/employees.
Partners can raise funds through:
- Employee/company donations
- Company match
- Employee fundraising challenges (t-shirt sales, bake sales, dress down days, etc.)
- Collection box at registers to activate your customers
- Round-up donations through shopping cart online or through point-of-sale system
You can send and track your donations by setting up a custom fundraising page for your organization. The fundraising page is best used for sharing with your employees and/or customers to gather donations and for submitting your organization’s final donation. (If you’d like to forego creating a fundraising page you can submit your final donation here)
