Create your network list.
We’re excited to help you start organizing your network to determine the best fundraising goal for your project.
Relationships fuel successful campaigns.
As part of the next step in our process, we’ll be focusing on the closest contacts in your network. Down the road, we’ll help you expand your network to maximize your reach and funding. For now, your goal is to create a list of 30–50 close contacts. By comparing your network to our previous campaigns, we’ll be able to answer two important questions:
- Can we run a successful campaign together?
- If so, what is a realistic fundraising goal for your project?
If things are in good shape, we’ll connect you with your producer to hash out project details.
Making the best list possible.
Focus on closest contacts.
When adding contacts to your list, choose people from your inner circle, like immediate, close family and friends. Aim for 30–50 contacts. Remember, this is just a starting place, intended to help us make an accurate fundraising projection for your project.
Prioritize ages 25 and up.
While younger generations are all about crowdfunding, people under the age of 25 are less likely to support your campaign above the $10 mark, so it’s important to include as many contacts above that age threshold as possible.
Do your research.
Providing accurate and complete info for age and occupation will help us make a stronger fundraising projection for your project. Luckily, you’ll be able to find most of this info on Facebook and Instagram.
Submit the form below and we'll email you a link to start your list.
First, let's confirm who you are.
Make sure this matches the email you'd like us to use.
