Step Up Your Game: 
Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

Peer-to-peer fundraising is a great way to mobilize your most passionate supporters. These supporters create their own fundraising page to share with their own network, expanding the reach of your organization and bringing in new donors and gifts. Think of it this way:

  • We, the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, promote the Great Give Day campaign to the community. 
  • You, the participating organization, promote your organization page to your contacts.
  • And your supporters, by hosting peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, promote your organization page to their peers (hence the name peer-to-peer).

As an organization administrator, your job is to steward your fundraisers and make the idea / process of peer-to-peer fundraising fun for your supporters. 

   


Set your fundraisers up for success by:

  • Starting early: Identify potential peer-to-peer fundraisers and developing an outreach strategy to ask for their support. 
  • Being informative: Consider your organization’s fundraising goal for Great Give Day, and determine what part of that could be reasonably attained by peer-to-peer fundraisers. Make sure your fundraisers know exactly what your goals are so they can help!
  • Making it easy: Provide your peer-to-peer fundraisers with the resources they need to be successful. 
    • Start by creating a fundraising template so your fundraisers don’t have to start from scratch!
    • Share the Peer-to-Peer fundraising toolkit with your interested supporters. The toolkit provide a detailed walkthrough of the peer-to-peer fundraising feature on Mightycause, including how to sign up, build, and share a fundraising page.
