Fundraising Plan

Follow our fundraising calendar to success


Anyone can raise $15,000. It just takes a good plan, some personality, and the will to keep at it. We've seen $15,000 raised leisurely over a couple months, or in a flurry of activity over two weeks. The key is to get going - start today and then let that momentum carry you along.


Below is a template to help you plan out the first month of your campaign. Make it your own:
