2. Register and customize your fundraising page

Once you have an inspiring idea in mind, you can register your fundraiser onto our Change Makers web portal.

The registration form will help you define the basic attributes of your fundraiser with some key details such as name, location, date, etc, but remember you can add or change most details at any time!

This page also offers many customizable features for you to shape your fundraiser: images and descriptions but also the possibility to sell tickets and merchandise or set up individual and team pages.
3. Promote your fundraiser

Once your fundraising page is set up, you can share it with your community via email or on social media, so friends and family can donate—and join in!

START YOUR FUNDRAISER

Go for it! I remember thinking that my business was too small, and I could never fundraise as much as some of the other larger events, and I got intimidated. But somewhere along my journey as a CF Mom, I realized that if our community does small things together, with great love, we can do wonderful things. And we do! Even the smallest contributions can have a huge impact.”
