Online fundraising is simple and secure! Just follow these easy steps to get started:

• Go to our 2024 Walk fundraising home page.
• Click the button “Start fundraising.”
• Follow the steps to set up a fundraising page.

Important Notes: As you set up your page:

• Choose "Individual" not "Organization."

Make a donation to your own page to get things started! Next, ask people to donate to your fundraising page. You can:

• Send emails to everyone you know: Write a personal note. Include the URL to your fundraising page and tell them to click on it to donate. (The URL is the address at the top of your fundraising page. It starts with https://supportconnection.networkforgood.com/projects....) Not sure what to say? Look at our sample email for ideas.
• Share on Social Media: Use Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to ask your friends to donate. When viewing your fundraising page, you’ll see icons on the left for Facebook Twitter and LinkedIn. Use these to share on social media.
