Tips for success
How to run a successful medical fundraiser
1
Include a specific goal
Donors give more when they can see a concrete target. Break down the medical costs so people know exactly where their money goes.
2
Share medical evidence
A letter from the hospital, a diagnosis report, or a doctor's note builds trust and significantly increases donation rates.
3
Update donors regularly
Post updates about treatment progress. Campaigns with frequent updates raise 3 times more than those without.
4
Share on WhatsApp first
Start with your closest contacts on WhatsApp. Personal networks drive the first wave of donations that build momentum.
