Social Media Fundraiser

Trips, printing flyers, making club t-shirts...you name it! Operating a growing group requires money to fund materials and events. There are plenty of ways you can use your social media skills to fundraise. Don’t worry, you aren’t begging people for money. You are giving them the opportunity to work alongside you to fight the greatest human rights atrocity our world has ever known: abortion. Use this event guide to help you plan your next social media fundraiser!

Step 1

Create a budget for what you're fundraising for.

How much will the event/items you're raising money for cost? Write-out all expenses and make estimations.

Step 2

Create a fundraising plan.

Meet with your group to brainstorm platforms you can use to raise funds!
You can set up an online fundraising page to collect donations from credit cards using sites such as:

Step 3

Post! Post! Post!

Post the link to your fundraiser on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, everywhere!
Share with like-minded local Facebook groups and ministries, too.
Use your group’s social media platforms (and your own) to share about your group’s fundraising efforts.
Be specific. People want to know where their money is going. Share why you are fundraising (i.e. to raise funds to go the National Pro-Life March).

Step 4

Personal asks.

Privately message friends and family. Personal asks usually are the most successful.
Remember to tell them what the money will be used for and give them a way to donate: “Aunt Sue, would you be willing to sponsor a SFL member’s bus ride to the National Pro-Life March for $50? You can give using our Go Fund Me webpage here!”

Step 5

One thing you can’t forget: thank your donors!

Whenever people donate, collect their contact information so you can thank them and update them on upcoming events.
You can message, email, call, or send a letter.
