Fundraising Made Easy: How to Launch Your Own Fundraising Campaign with Tiltify

Want to raise money for a great cause? Follow these simple steps to start your own charity fundraiser on Tiltify!

Planning Your Campaign

Before you jump into the technical side of setting up your fundraiser, it’s time to get organized. A little planning goes a long way.

Tiltify makes it easy to search for causes, charities, events, campaigns, and teams

1. Research and Choose a Charity 💙

First things first: what cause are you passionate about? Tiltify partners with thousands of verified charities, from global organizations to local initiatives. Take some time to research and select a cause that resonates with you. Whether it’s mental health support, animal rescue, or disaster relief, fundraising is more meaningful when you’re truly connected to the mission.

2. Choose the Date and Time

Next, set your campaign timeline. Are you planning a one-day event or a multi-week effort? Consider any major holidays, charity-led fundraising events, or community happenings that could impact participation. If you’re a content creator, check your schedule to ensure you’re available and energized for your fundraiser.

3. Think of Milestones and Incentives

Make it fun! Fundraising is more engaging when there’s something for supporters to rally behind. Set milestones, mini-goals along the way, and add incentives like rewards, targets, or auctions. For example, you could promise a silly costume change, a pie to the face, or a karaoke session once you hit a certain amount. The more creative, the better. You can see our community-led fundraising incentive board to get inspired here. 

4. Set a Fundraising Goal

How much do you want to raise? It’s okay to start small; even $100 can make a big difference. Many fundraisers increase their goal mid-campaign once momentum builds. Every dollar counts, and the impact of your efforts will be felt, no matter the number.

Setting Up Your Tiltify Campaign

Once you’ve got your plan, it’s time to bring it to life on Tiltify. The platform makes it easy, and you’ll be up and running in no time.
