Community Spotlight: PaopuKomi

Why do you choose to fundraise?

I learned early on that I could use my platform to make a difference in a way that is much bigger and better than myself. I started fundraising to give back to communities who didn’t have access to things that I might have, or give back to those who aren’t as healthy and well-off as I am. Fundraising became a big part of what I love most about streaming because it fostered a great community of caring people and helped to make a big difference in the lives of others.

What Tiltify tools have you used that made an impact on your fundraising?

Matching Campaigns are one of my favorite tools to use with Tiltify! I think it’s really inspiring to other people to donate when they see that their donations will be matched 2x, 3x, or more!

What is a fun fact you’d like to share?

I started streaming right before the pandemic hit, and meeting people through Twitch helped me to feel less isolated. I very weirdly have COVID to thank for where I’m at today.

What advice do you have for anyone fundraising for the first time?

You do NOT have to fundraise alone! The campaigns are made and run by me, but I wouldn’t do nearly as much good work without the help of some pretty amazing people. Hosting events like tournaments or even stream raid train marathons not only brings people together, but creates a collective goal for the group to just have fun, raise some money, and do some good. You don’t have to go about it alone, and even raising just a little bit can make it all worth it.
