What do I need to organise before starting a CrowdRaiser?

Before creating a CrowdRaiser on GiveNow, consider the following questions to help you plan an effective fundraising campaign:

1. What am I (or we) fundraising for?
2. Do I have a target amount in mind?
3. Do I have a clear 'ask' for this fundraising cause: a target, a pitch, and images?
4. If I am fundraising as part of a group or school, who is going to have a unique CrowdRaiser page: each person, each class, or each family?
5. Are there privacy concerns that need to be considered for any minors included in the fundraising?
6. Should we consider having a few community personalities championing the campaign? Should we get their pages created first to build momentum?
7. Will the individuals be creating their own content? If so, how do we encourage and manage this process?
8. Do we have a campaign plan?
   • Start date.
   • End date.
   • Milestones.
   • An event to launch or close the campaign.
   • A person who can monitor progress, motivate participants, and thank donors and stakeholders.
