Ideally, we want each student to submit 15.
Below are some frequently asked questions about this program: Q: What information do I need to share for potential donors? A: Submit a name (as you would refer to them), email address, and cell phone number. We will send emails and SMS messages to your potential donors on your behalf, so it’s important to name them how you would speak to them (e.g., Grandma, Aunt Sheryl, Dr. Smith, etc.). Q: What happens to potential donor information once my fundraiser is over? A: All potential donor information is purged from our system. Potential donor information is NEVER shared with anyone or any company. Q: Who are good potential donors? A: In most cases, anyone who you believe is willing to support your fundraiser. Don’t add strangers or teachers. Good potential donors include grandparents, aunts and uncles, extended family, godparents, mentors, coaches, religious or other extracurricular leaders, co-workers of yours or your family’s. Work with your parents to help brainstorm people in your network who may want to help you! Q: What else do parents and students need to do with fundraiser? A: Once all your names are submitted, the program runs itself. One thing you can do is to share the link, once it is live on social media. I will be sharing it on the programs social media, so you can share from that. |
