Creating a DIY Fundraiser is as easy as 1, 2, 3
By creating your very own DIY Fundraiser, you can champion HopeCo’s vision to see transformed lives and flourishing communities in East Africa! Bring your passions to life by setting up a fundraiser that will give hope and healing to children and families in Tanzania and Kenya.
Step 1: CREATE
First, decide what you are going to do for your fundraiser! Maybe you are going to run a marathon, raise money for your birthday, put on a bake sale, or go on a mission trip with HopeCo? Once you pick your fundraiser, you can customize your page with a heading, description, photo, and goal!
STEP 2: SPREAD THE WORD
Once your fundraiser is set up, you can easily share the link with your family and friends! Tell everyone about your goal, and invite them to be part of your fundraiser. Share your fundraiser on social media and via email. Don’t forget - tell people your heart behind raising money to help kids!
Step 3: See Your Impact
After you reach your goal, celebrate because you will have given children and families in East Africa hope and joy! God gets the glory when we use our passions and talents for his kingdom. Thank you for being a champion for vulnerable kids!
