Fundraising Tips That Actually Work

Straight from riders who've done it.

📧

Email First, Social Second

Personal emails to people you know convert far better than social posts. Start with 20 people you actually talk to.

📖

Tell a Wish Story

Donors give to kids, not miles. Share a Make-A-Wish story — check the WAM site or ask the team for one that moves you.

🔁

Follow Up Once

Most donations come after the second ask. Send one follow-up about two weeks after your first email — keep it short and friendly.

💼

Ask Your Employer

Many companies match charitable donations. Check with HR — a matching gift can double your total overnight.

📱

Post Your DonorDrive Link

Put your personal fundraising link in your Instagram bio and stories. Even one post can pull in donors from your wider network.

🎯

Set a Specific Goal

"Help me hit $2,500" outperforms "any amount helps." People respond to a clear target they can visibly move.
