Start your own Pad Project Fundraiser
There’s no more powerful way to support our work than to host a fundraiser in your community! To make it easier for you, we created this step-by-step fundraising guide to help you get from point A to point Z. Follow the steps below to plan your own Pad Project fundraiser!
- 1. Strategize
- 2. Assemble Your Fundraising Team
- 3. Spread the Word!
- 5. Submit Donations
- 4. Host Your Event
STRATEGIZE
Decide what kind of fundraiser you’d like to plan in your community. Examples include screenings of Period. End of Sentence., bake sales, online fundraising campaigns, 5ks or other walk/runs, jewelry or craft sales, tampon/pad drives, art sales … the possibilities are endless!
ASSEMBLE YOUR FUNDRAISING TEAM
Once you have an idea, organize community members to help you make it into a reality. Fundraising is often easier to do in groups – The Pad Project itself started with one high school chapter of Girls Learn International. Try collaborating with your neighbors, classmates, teammates, or members of your faith community! You can even work together to create an online fundraising platform through MobileCause!
Here’s How It Works:
Create a fundraising page that shares your story and connection to The Pad Project and why ending period stigma is important to you! Click here to create your page!
- Input your first name, last name, and email address
- Create a password
- Set a fundraising goal and add an image to your page
- A sample page with suggested copy will be created for you with more details about The Pad Project; if you would like to add or change any of the text you are more than welcome to!
- Your page has been created! In the top right hand corner you will find a link to share your page with your family, friends, and colleagues through email or social media.
If you have any questions please contact Director of Development, Sorelle Cohen, sorelle@thepadproject.org
SPREAD THE WORD!
