Tips and ready-to-go content to help you raise funds to purchase The Walking Classroom
We know how cash-strapped many school districts and out-of-school time organizations are, so we’ve pulled together some content that can be used on GoFundMe (or DonorsChoose and other fundraising platforms) to help you raise funds for Walking Classroom materials for your students.
We highly recommend taking advantage of #GivingTuesday (November 28, 2017) and the end-of-year holiday giving season to kick off your campaign.
Reach out to parents, friends, family, and others in your community to help spread the word about your campaign. Make sure to let us know about your campaign so we can also help you spread the word via social media.
Don’t forget to mention our Fall sale. Money you raise will go 20% farther through 12/31/17!
