What is peer-to-peer fundraising?
Peer-to-peer fundraising (also known as crowdfunding) is an initiative that allows FamilyWorks volunteers, supporters, and community members to engage their personal networks in raising funds and awareness for FamilyWorks’ vital programming. FamilyWorks Ambassadors set personal fundraising goals and customize individual webpages to encourage friends, family, and colleagues to donate.
How do I get started?
- First, visit https://givebutter.com/familyworksseattle/join to create your fundraising webpage.
- Enter your information and click the blue ‘Sign Up‘ button.
- Set your fundraising goal, share a few sentences about your connection to FamilyWorks, and you’re ready to fundraise!
- Share your unique link with your network using the pre-written communication templates found in the Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Toolkit.
Are there any matching funds available?
Yes! Thanks to a few generous neighbors, all gifts donated to the Nourishing Communities Peer-to-Peer Campaign will be matched 1:1 up to $50,000. Your network can rest easy knowing their donations will go twice as far in providing food and family resources to the North Seattle community.
Can FamilyWorks Ambassadors earn incentives?
Absolutely! To thank Ambassadors for their valuable work, we are offering some limited edition FamilyWorks merchandise as tokens of our appreciation. Ambassadors with 5 or more donors to their page OR who raise at least $250 will receive a FamilyWorks branded sticker pack. Ambassadors with 10 or more donors to their page OR who raise at least $1,000 can take home a FamilyWorks tote bag. Ambassadors with 20 or more donors to their page OR who raise at least $2,000 will earn a FamilyWorks sweatshirt.
