Description

A fundraiser will help you get the money you need to carry out your activity or project. But first you need to figure out how much you need to raise: your fundraising goal.

Convincing people you know to give you money isn't always easy. You might decide that a simple thank you is enough or you might decide to encourage your supporters to give more by offering them different products as perks.

In this step, you'll dive deeper into cost estimates and concepts like production cost and sales price. Grab your calculator!

Your mission

Using the project creation form and tools provided, set your fundraising goal.

If applicable, choose what perks you'll offer, estimate their production cost and make sure the mark-up will be enough to cover the cost of your project.
