Fundraise

New to Fundraising? First time participating in AIDS Walk San Francisco? Need a refresher course to boost your total?
We’re here to help!

STEP ONE: MAKE IT PERSONAL

Personalize your fundraising page, where your friends, family, and co-workers go to sponsor you online, by logging in to your Fundraising HQ. There you can:

Share your reasons for walking by editing the text on your page.

Create or change your custom URL that links directly to your fundraising page.

Upload your own images or videos.

Set or change your fundraising goal.

STEP TWO: TALK THE TALK

Now that you have a spiffy new personal fundraising page, share the link with everyone you know, and ask them to sponsor you for AIDS Walk San Francisco. Don’t be afraid to follow up or send reminders, and remember to thank donors! You can share the link by:

Sending an email through your Fundraising HQ—the link is automatically included in all messages you send and there are templates to choose from and customize!

Connecting your Facebook, X, and LinkedIn accounts to your HQ to post outreach messages to all your social media contacts.

Copying & pasting your custom URL into fundraising outreach emails directly.

STEP THREE: WALK THE WALK

Host a fundraiser!

Ask a local bar or restaurant to donate their space for a happy hour or fundraising dinner party. Charge a flat admission or suggest a donation. Plan a raffle, contest, or drink special to make the night exciting!
