A LITTLE HELPING HAND FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER!

As a participant in the Generations Challenge, you have until September 28 to reach your goal. Fundraising is easier than you think! 

Here are a few tips to help you reach your goal without stressing it:


PERSONALIZE YOUR FUNDRAISING PAGE—A GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS!

Once you’ve registered, you can modify your personal page and start raising money!

  • Upload a profile picture.
  • Personalize the text on your page, explaining why the cause is important to you and why you chose to participate in the Generations Challenge.
  • Sign at the bottom to make your text more personal.
  • Share on your personal Facebook page!


SOLICIT DONATIONS FROM THOSE AROUND YOU

Ask those around you to encourage you in your challenge! Tell them about your involvement and your goal. And, above all, don’t send your message out only once—plan to send a reminder!


TIPS TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT YOUR CHALLENGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

As a participant in the Generations Challenge, you have until September 28 to reach your goal. Fundraising is easier than you think!

  • Share your challenge on social media.
  • Send a personalized message to your contacts via Facebook Messenger.
  • Use your birthday as an opportunity to ask for donations on Facebook.
  • Include the hashtag #generationschallenge in your posts.


INCREASE YOUR FUNDRAISING GOAL

If you reach your fundraising goal (congratulations!), increase it!

  • Tell your donors that thanks to their generosity, you’ve reached your goal and have decided to increase it. That way, people who haven’t yet pitched in will be encouraged to help you reach your new goal.


INVITE PEOPLE TO JOIN YOUR TEAM

Fundraising on your own is great, but doing so in a team can be much more motivating. Do you know anyone who likes pushing their limits, or who loves a healthy lifestyle? If so, team up!

  • Give yourselves a rallying team name!
  • Set an ambitious, but realistic, fundraising goal.
  • Define what unites you as a team, why you’re participating.
  • Take a team photo and use it as your profile picture on your team page.
  • Send a congratulations email to all your team members as soon as they receive a donation or reached their goal.
  • Be original when soliciting donations for your team in your workplace: place an attractive donation box in your team colours at the reception on in the staff kitchen, post a table showing the progress of donations and of the leading teams.


​​​​​​​ABOVE ALL, REMEMBER TO THANK YOUR DONORS PERSONALLY!

  • A thank you email is automatically sent to all of your donors who made online donations. But it’s still a good idea for you to take the time to thank them personally.
