Personalized Fundraising

You can help people get safe water doing something challenging, sharing an upcoming celebration, or just by doing something you love.

Instructions:

1. Think of something you want to do to raise money (e.g., compete in a race, request contributions as a birthday or wedding gift) and set a goal.
2. Create your own fundraising page (click on link to the right) to share with others and track donations to your cause. Be sure to include a good photo and description of why you want to help people get safe water. (Contact Matt Lafferty to let him know what you’re doing so he can help: mlafferty@lifewater.org)
3. Let others know about your fundraising effort through email, online networks, and in person.
4. Watch as friends and family support you and your desire to help others!
5. Watch your donations save and improve lives as people gain WASH through the work of Lifewater and its partner organizations!

Ideas:

1. Just BeCause: Create a Lifewater fundraising page explaining why you’re passionate about helping those in need, then let your friends and family know about it. Take on a challenge and ask friends for support. Climb a mountain. Wear a Yankees hat to Finley Park. Chew one piece of gum for a really long time. Anything!
2. Birthday: Is your birthday coming up? Consider having family and friends donate on your Lifewater fundraising page to support those in need in honor of your special day.
3. Dine For Water: Plan a small or large charity dinner and have your computer set up with your Lifewater fundraising page open. Then give guests the opportunity to donate after dinner. Alternatively, you can have guests R.S.V.P. by donating on your fundraising page. Our videos on Lifewater's YouTube Channel could be helpful for this type of event.
4. Join Team Lifewater: Turn you passion for sports into safe water for life for those who need it most. By joining Team Lifewater, your friends and you will raise awareness and money as you participate in triathlons, marathons, cycle races, or other events.
