Your commitment to help change outcomes for cancer patients is an admirable one, but we know that raising the funds to get there doesn’t always feel easy. Especially when potential donors don’t know about D.I.Y., The Princess Margaret or the life-saving cancer research you are supporting when you raise funds.
Getting started early and letting people know why you’re fundraising will go a long way towards hitting your goal. Plus, we’ve created a few tips and tools to help.
Start With a Self-Pledge
Did you know that D.I.Yers who make a self-donation when they start a D.I.Y. fundraiser earn donations from their supporters within the first three weeks? Kickstart your fundraising efforts with a self-pledge of $50 or $100 and set the bar for how much others should donate.
