Start A Fundraiser


Whether it’s running your first 5K, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, or summiting Mt. Everest, we’re constantly impressed with the creativity and commitment of supporters who fundraise as part of a personal challenge or event. But you don’t need to swim the English Channel to give support for children or make an impact in the life of a Nepali student. Face-to-face events like house parties and bake sales work too!

 

Ideas to Inspire You


Use a Personal Goal or Challenge: Whether you’re running your first 5k or triathalon, competing in a crossfit challenge, or have another goal to meet, use the opportunity to raise money for Garden for hope! Ask your family, friends, and colleagues to sponsor your efforts. Free online platforms make fundraising easy by offering personal pages with photos, the ability to share your page via email and social networks, and gift processing. We can work with you to access platforms like Instagram, GoFundMe, JustGiving, and Mightycause, to make raising funds easy.

Host an Event: Using house parties, book clubs, game nights, school clubs, and activities through your workplace are easy and fun ways to raise critical dollars while informing people about GFH. Use Evite or create a Facebook Event to send invitations and manage your guest list. We’re happy to send you materials to distribute, video files to show your guests or to even come in person to share our mission and story with your group.

Use a Special Occasion: Create a Facebook Fundraiser to make special occasions, such as a birthday, family reunion, or wedding, more meaningful by asking for donations in lieu of gifts.

One request: whatever you raise, tell us the story behind it. The girls in the home love hearing that someone on the other side of the world ran a 5K for them.
