FAQs
When should I use crowdfunding versus peer-to-peer fundraising?
Crowdfunding campaigns are versatile appeals for your community’s support. Use a crowdfunding campaign to accept general donations, raise money for a specific project, or drive support for a time-based initiative. No matter what’s driving the campaign, the main call to action on a crowdfunding campaign is to donate.
The main purpose of a peer-to-peer page is to recruit supporters to raise money for your organization. While there is also an option to make a one-time donation, the goal is to recruit individuals who will appeal to their personal networks. You can run time-based peer-to-peer campaigns, create a year-round fundraising option that allows supporters to dedicate their life events, or run both simultaneously.
What causes are best for using crowdfunding websites?
Storytelling is the backbone of crowdfunding. Whether it’s a large giving day, a capital campaign, or current event response, Classy’s crowdfunding campaigns allow nonprofits to share who they are, what they’re doing, and why it’s important. Explaining the tangible impact that a single donation can make sits at the core of crowdfunding success. Features like progress bars with time-bound goals help build momentum and urgency behind campaigns and are perfect for social sharing.
Are Classy’s crowdfunding tools limited to certain campaigns?
With Classy Studio, amplify any campaign with the community-powering social proof crowdfunding pages are known for. Add a progress bar, activity feed, or donation matching cue to any new or existing campaigns, such as donation drives, annual giving days, year-end appeals, or co-branded corporate matching campaigns. It can also boost activation for evergreen campaigns and dedicated recurring giving pages.
