Tips for fundraising for Hurricane relief on GoFundMe

Setting up your fundraiser:

  • The title of your crowdfunding campaign should include the name of the person or people you are fundraising for and the location (IE “helping loved ones in CITY, STATE”)
  • Indicate how funds will be used in your fundraiser description. This may include temporary housing, food, new clothing, and other essentials.

Gaining momentum for your fundraiser: 

  • After you publish your fundraiser, reach out to your closest friends and family to ask if they would consider making the first donations and helping you get the word out.
  • Share your fundraiser link on social media with a summary of what you’re fundraising for and thanking people in advance for their support. Aim to set aside a few minutes in the morning and evening to spread the word about your fundraiser.
  • Update your fundraiser regularly with the latest details and specific needs.
