Running a fundraiser

Remember to keep your fundraiser alive with updates to encourage more donations. Otherwise, your followers and potential sponsors will lose interest.

1. Say "Thank you"
2. Updating your SPONSOR.ME diary

Say "Thank you"

Always remember to thank your sponsors by mentioning them on your social media (e.g., by tagging them in Facebook and Twitter posts), or by emailing or texting them.

Write something like this:

Thank you very much for supporting me and my fundraiser. I really 
appreciate your help. It means a lot to me. Best wishes!

Updating your SPONSOR.ME diary

We highly recommend that you post regular updates on your fundraiser's diary, preferably every second day. It does not need to be much; a few words and a photo of what you have been doing lately or what you are planning to do would be enough.

To create a new post, simply log on to your SPONSOR.ME account, click on your fundraiser, and select "Diary" in the pop-up window. Follow the instructions to create a new post.
