Fundraising made easy first steps
WHY: Fundraising addresses critical needs and supports causes like healthcare, education, disaster relief, environmental protection, community development, and animal welfare. It enables positive change by providing resources for organizations and individuals to tackle challenges and improve lives worldwide.
How do I Start
Starting a fundraiser might feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Here’s a simple roadmap to help you begin:
Choose Your Cause: Identify what you’re passionate about and who or what you want to support.
Set Clear Goals: Decide how much money you aim to raise and what the funds will be used for.
Pick a Platform: Choose a fundraising platform (like GoFundMe, Kickstarter, or a local organization) to host your campaign.
Create Your Story: Write a compelling narrative explaining your cause, why it matters, and how donors will make a difference.
Spread the Word: Share your fundraiser widely—on social media, with friends, and in local communities.
I’d love to help you brainstorm any of these steps further! What’s your cause, and how can I support you in launching it?
sharing your campaign
Engage Your Community: Promote your fundraiser through local events, groups, and businesses to gain community support
Email Campaigns & WhatsApp Send personalized emails to friends, family, and supporters explaining your cause and inviting them to contribute

Fundraising – Your experience
1. Your First Step and what you will have done already
Your funding project has taken shape. You have written a nice description included some great pictures and placed it on the Crowd Funding platform of your choice. You are ready go and you may have shared it it with family and friends – HOPEFULLY!
Your Quest for good causes
Whether it is for animal care – to help someone with medical problems or a person(s) that have suffered a natural catastrophe
You have something or someone to support
Fundraising – Your experience & Reality
2. You are excited now – You share this in Social Media
You now share your Campaign on social media – Well Facebook, X (Twitter) Instagram and Co. have Millions of Members. You expectancy drives toward optimism. You think there is nor a good deal of funding coming in.
Reality
Nothing is Happening
You generate no Funds??
Fundraising – What has gone wrong??!!
3. You share on Social Media – you get no donations!!!!!!!
There are various reasons why your campaign doesn’t succeed over Social Media
Let’s have a closer look
Fundraising – It is in Danger
4. Scamming and Fraud on Social Media
There are plenty of people commenting to help – Watch the Scammers Here are some Samples
- They will try to sell you lists and services.
- They will say they are “moved” or similar by your campaign.
- They might flatter you telling you are smart or brilliant or call you “dear.”
- They will ask if you own the campaign.
- They will say they truly want to help you.
- They might refer to a link Wa.me.
- They might tell you your campaign “isn’t visible” or that the link doesn’t work
- They will ask you to private message, inbox, or friend them.
- They will say they have some ideas and want to go over them with you.
Identify Scammers – Check their profiles
- Account is new – no content or Ai created –
- They claim their own Campaigns. Check the Campaign and location of Organiser vs. Location of profile – they will differ
- Location is set to USA – Most friends are from Africa/Asia
- Profile indicates they are Crowd Funding Experts (That’s and easy one).
- Common Names like Mary Rose, John Fund, Michelle Crowd Tom Jones
- Nice pictures of family or older couple recently added but several time.
- Studied in Harvard – lives in LA- studied at Oxford lives in London and no other info on their schooling
What is the Methodology behind all this: Someone is trying to lurk you into a private conversation, away from the public comments, using either Messenger or giving you a WhatsApp link. They start with an easy smooth talk, trying to convince to that they have someone that helped their own campaign, or tell you they are a Crowd Funding Specialist with great expertise. promises reach from rebuilding your campaign or even posting with a possible list of thousands of prospective donors. Of course you charged up-front ranging from $50 and more.
Don’t respond – it may cost you money – you will you occupied for hours in conversations, because they talk and talk to win you over and extract money from you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
