When you decide to start fundraising – whether for yourself, a good cause, a charity, or any project that you’ve always been dreaming of off the ground. Well, good news – HelpandKind is the best place to do that.
HelpandKind is a custom-build platform for crowdfunding and it’s free to start your fundraiser. All you need to do is think of an eye-catching title, tell us your fundraiser story, and set the page live to see the donations start coming.
But how does HelpandKind work? Fear not, as this page is here to explain all you need to know. Start your HelpandKind today to get going on your crowdfunding journey.
The first step in starting your fundraising journey is just that
– starting your fundraiser. Once you’ve created your HelpandKind account you’ll need to:
An important part of any successful fundraising journey is sharing your page with anyone you can – friends, colleagues, neighbours! Thankfully in this day and age, the existence of the internet and social media makes this far easier – but don’t forget the value of good old-fashioned posters (with a bit of QR code magic!).
Though we are just starting, we intend to operate at the highest level of trust and honesty. In this way so that when you choose HelpandKind, you’ll benefit from
To begin with, you must know that a clear title of your fund-raising campaign is very important piece of your campaign. It is what attracts people or pushes them away.
Example: “Support Jane Doe to go for cancer treatment in India.”
When writing your fundraiser story, be specific about what you are fundraising for whenever possible, and tell a compelling story in honest and heartfelt words you’d use to explain your cause to a friend.
One of the best fundraising tips is adding high-quality, personal photos to your fundraising page to help potential donors connect with your story.
If you have more images or a YouTube video that will help tell your fundraiser story and show donors what you are fundraising for, you can add them in the fundraiser description or a fundraiser update.
Setting a fundraiser goal can feel tricky, but we’re here to help. We suggest a goal amount based on fundraisers with similar locations, categories, etc. that found success on HelpandKind in the last year. Using our suggested goal is a great way to put your fundraiser on par with other causes on our platform. You can always choose a goal amount different from our suggestion, and edit your goal at any time.
Creating a fundraiser is the start of the journey. Sharing is just as important, and you shouldn’t need to be a social media expert to spread the word. Our smart social media tools make sharing your fundraiser easier and better than ever. When you click ‘share’, we’ll use your fundraiser to automatically generate a custom social media caption, images, and videos that are ready to post across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and more. These are optional, but can help you easily share quality content on social media. You can also edit any text suggestions.
Share your fundraiser ‘offline’ as well by telling people in-person or posting flyers.
One of the top fundraising tips is to post an update to your fundraiser within seven days of starting it. Then continue doing so every week or at major milestones to keep donors engaged and encourage them to keep sharing.
Thanking your donors for their support is an important way to show your gratitude and also to enlist further help. Here are a few ways you can show your appreciation:
