Tips and best practices for a successful fundraiser
There are countless ways to support Sainte-Justine’s mission. Here are a few simple, flexible, and meaningful ideas to help you get started or to adapt your activity to your reality.
Clarify your goal
Take a moment to think about what you’d like to achieve. Are you hoping to:
- Mark an important milestone?
- Bring your community together around a cause?
- Show your support for the families at Sainte-Justine?
A clear goal will help you tell your story and rally the people around you.
Plan your fundraiser
Make sure you have everything in place to keep things running smoothly:
- Set a realistic, measurable fundraising goal (no gesture is too small: every dollar counts!)
- Build a budget: less spending = more funds for the cause
- Choose a date and location, if your event is in person
Tell your story
Your commitment is inspiring. In your own words, share what moves you and motivates you. Add a photo that reflects who you are. It will make your initiative more relatable and more powerful.
Share, follow up, and say thanks
These three steps are key to bringing your fundraiser to life. Sharing it, keeping up the momentum, and showing appreciation — that’s what gives your initiative its full meaning.
- Send your fundraising page to your network
- Follow up with those who may have forgotten
- Say thank you. A personal note, a public shoutout… it all matters!
