Setting Up an Effective Online Fundraiser for Your Organization

[luvtocook]

Hi!

I'm a newbie and my husband was just asking questions about fundraisers. Can I set one up on my website....and have his organization (Masonic) include the link to it in an email to members?? Or is that not allowed?

I have found a ton of info on this site about fundraisers, but not much about how to do it and use your website?

Thank you!

Mary

They can send a link in an email. And for fundraisers, you can get permission from HO for the organization to link to your PWS from their site for 1 month. The form is right on your PWS when you set up a fundraiser.

Hi Mary,

Welcome to the forum! It's great to see you taking the initiative to set up a fundraiser for your husband's organization. In terms of using your website for the fundraiser, it's definitely allowed and can be a very effective way to reach a wider audience and raise more funds.

To set up the fundraiser on your website, you can either use a third-party fundraising platform like GoFundMe or create a donation page directly on your website. With the latter option, you'll need to have a payment processor set up to handle donations securely. There are many options available, such as PayPal, Stripe, or Square.

Once you have the fundraiser set up on your website, you can absolutely have the Masonic organization include the link in their email to members. In fact, I highly recommend promoting the fundraiser through multiple channels, including social media and email, to reach as many potential donors as possible.

I hope this helps and good luck with your fundraiser! Let us know if you have any other questions.
