FUNDRAISING TOOLKIT
Whether this is the first time you’ve fundraised to support TMF’s mission or you’re a long-time supporter, these guides will help you get started. Within these guides you’ll find ideas on efforts to gather support from family, friends, and co-workers, insight on how to use tools like Facebook and Instagram live, and a flyer to post that shows your community the progress you’ve made.
To help you share about your event on social media, here are several graphics you can use to post on Facebook or Instagram as well as sample copy. They can help garner support for your fundraiser, but don’t feel limited. Personalize your post, making sure to include a link to your personal fundraising page, and always be sure to thank your donors.
