NET 5K Run/Walk


Fundraising Tips

Is your page set up with photos and a personal message?

  • If yes, great! Be sure to include a message explaining why you are supporting NET.
  • If not, add a photo—people will connect if they recognize you. Also link
    your social media accounts—this will allow you to easily reach out
    through Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Is your minimum fundraising goal set high enough?

  • Aim high from the start! Set a stretch goal for your personal fundraising.
  • Don’t limit yourself to the default $200, which can be quickly reached with common $50 or $100 donations.

Have you donated to your own page?

  • Potential donors will more likely participate to your fundraising if someone has already donated.
  • Donating to your own page also helps to jump start your campaign.

Have you built your list of potential donors?

  • This should include friends, family, coworkers, etc.
  • For each person, identify the best way to get in touch with them.
