Create Fundraisers to Support Neighbor to Neighbor

We’re thrilled that you’re interested in creating your own fundraisers to support our mission of providing essential services to those in need. Your support helps us continue to offer rides, pantry deliveries, and connect services to our community. Here’s how you can get started:

Step 1: Choose Your Fundraiser Type

Decide on the type of fundraiser you’d like to organize. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Birthday Fundraisers: Ask friends and family to donate to Neighbor to Neighbor in lieu of gifts.
Community Event: Host a bake sale, car wash, or yard sale with proceeds going to Neighbor to Neighbor.
Challenge Event: Organize a walk, run, or bike ride and have participants collect pledges.
Online Campaign: Create a crowdfunding page to share on social media and email with your network.

Step 2: Get Started

Title and Description: Give your fundraiser a catchy title and explain why you’re raising funds for Neighbor to Neighbor.
Goal Amount: Set a fundraising goal that’s ambitious yet achievable.

Step 3: Spread the Word

Share your fundraising page with your network. Utilize social media, email, and word-of-mouth to reach as many people as possible. Here are some tips:

Social Media Posts: Regularly update your social media with progress and reminders to donate.
Email Campaigns: Send emails to friends, family, and colleagues explaining your cause and how they can help.
Personal Outreach: Don’t underestimate the power of a personal ask. Reach out directly to those who might be interested in supporting your cause.

Step 4: Host Your Event or Campaign

If your fundraiser involves an event, make sure to plan and promote it well in advance. Consider the following:

Logistics: Secure a location, gather necessary supplies, and ensure you have all permits if needed.
Volunteers: Recruit friends or family to help with planning and running the event.
Promotion: Use flyers, social media, and local community boards to spread the word about your event.

Step 5: Thank Your Donors

Express your gratitude to everyone who contributes to your fundraisers. Personal thank-you notes, emails, or social media shout-outs can go a long way in showing appreciation.

Step 6: Share Your Success

Once your fundraiser is complete, share the results with your supporters and Neighbor to Neighbor. Let everyone know how much was raised and how their contributions will make a difference. You can send a final update through your fundraising page, social media, or email.
