Start a Campaign
Do you have a special occasion and want to raise money for clean water for others instead of receiving gifts? Do you lead an Isla Urbana school club or chapter and want to take your fundraising efforts online? Or maybe you want to raise funds for our student Summer Program or are looking for another way to support us in your spare time? Whatever the case, join our online team and start your efforts through our campaign page!
Isla Urbana USA uses Givebutter, a free fundraising platform for nonprofits. Signing up takes only 5 minutes, and you can raise funds for clean water in your spare time. Check out the steps below and get started today. Contact us at requests@islaurbana.org for more information.
Become a team member and customize your link!
Visit our Fundraiser campaign page and click on “Fundraise.” Then set your goal, upload a picture, and share a little about why you’re fundraising. You’ll get a personalized link to share with others, and then you’re all set!
Tell the world!
Make a list of who you want to contact and share your personalized link online with them. Feel comfortable asking for support. Many people will be happy to be a part of what you’re doing. Post your fundraising page link on your social media pages and share it in emails and text messages! Each time you receive a donation, your page will receive the credit, and the person who donated will show up on the fundraising page.
Have fun!
You’re doing something for a great cause, so enjoy it and get creative! You can organize in-person events (contact us for ideas), and we can credit your fundraising page with what you raise in cash or checks. One of the great functions of the page is that many team members can join it, and you can get competitive with friends who also join the campaign. You can also post updates of your efforts and interact with donors by thanking them while using GIFS, videos, and more. Keep it casual, be interactive, and enjoy the journey!
