Your goal is completely up to you! Think about what feels both meaningful and realistic for your circle. Whatever goal you set can always be adjusted along the way.

Keep it simple and from the heart. You don’t need to be a professional writer, just be yourself!

As soon as you create your fundraiser, you’ll get a personal link. This link is unique to you, so share it on social media, through email, text, even in your holiday cards. Your supporters can donate directly through this link to your Action in Africa fundraiser.

You can even share your custom QR code for flyers, posters, or birthday party invitations to make it extra easy for people to donate to your cause with just one scan.

Absolutely. You can update your photo, refresh your story, or even adjust your fundraising goal as you get closer to your target.

Yes! You can fundraise individually or invite friends, family, or coworkers to join you. For example, you could set up a family tribute fundraiser to honor a loved one or a corporate team fundraiser where employees contribute together. Each person gets their own page, but all donations roll up into one team total so you can celebrate the impact you’re making together!

Once your fundraiser is created, you’ll receive an invite link to share. Send it to friends, colleagues, or family members you’d like on your team, and they’ll be guided through a simple setup to join your cause.

Don’t get discouraged! Most donations come in when you share updates and send reminders. Let your supporters know why this fundraiser is close to your heart, share progress updates, and try reaching out to a new circle (like coworkers or extended family).

People love being part of something meaningful, and sometimes need a gentle reminder.

Transparency is important to us. We allocate donations directly towards our ongoing programs while administrative costs are primarily by earmarked gifts, allowing gifts like yours to go toward creating educational opportunities for underserved communities in east Africa.
