Sharing a fundraiser

  • Updated

The essential element of the fundraising success is sharing. Once your fundraiser is approved and published, you can share it.

There are several ways to share a fundraiser. You can simply visit your fundraiser's page and press the Share button at the bottom of your screen, or log on to your SPONSOR.ME account, click on your fundraiser, and select "Share" in the pop-up window.

  1. Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
  2. Message services: WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, SMS, etc
  3. Email
  4. Embed
  5. Posters
  6. Flyers
  7. Main Stream Media

Social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Share your fundraiser's page with family members, friends, followers on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. Ask them to make a donation and to share your fundraiser with their friends and followers.

We have drafted an example for you to use. Remember to replace MY-FUNDRAISER-ID with your fundraiser's public URL.

Dear all! Please visit and support my fundraiser on 
WWW.SPONSOR.ME/MY-FUNDRAISER-ID I rely on the power of friendships to 
get me to the next level of my sports ambitions. Even small donations 
bring me closer to my dream. Thank you :D
