Social Fundraising Reimagined

From loss of jobs to barriers to education, the migrant and refugee community has been one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
🌍
@edmecocanada is raising money to support young migrant and refugee adults where they're at, especially with mental health support, meeting daily needs and continuing their education.
🌍
@edmecocanada knows how to help, because they've been there too. They were founded by young adults of different immigrant and refugee backgrounds, many of whom arrived in Canada as teenagers, speaking almost no English.
🌍
Their #FundRazr campaign has brought in $3,498 - but they have big plans to raise much more!
🌍
Here's how they did it:
✅Telling us exactly how donations will be spent
✅Sharing exactly how migrant youth have been affected by COVID-19
✅Being open about the charity's journey, and how they're survivors too
🌍
@edmecocanada, we're so inspired by your amazing story! Find out more at the link in our bio.

These small-scale coffee farmers are passionate about their craft, but many are barely earning enough to stay in business. New nonprofit Bridazul sees a solution; pre-paying the farmers for their product, which means they'll have the cashflow to export their coffee, pay their workers, and earn a much better wage.
☕
With FundRazr, they're aiming to raise €5,000 to help local farmers earn more off 5,000 pounds of coffee. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, they've already raised €2,333.
☕
Here's how they did it:
✅Background information on why the farmers need our help
✅Matching funds from a campaign founder
✅Pictures of the farmers at work
☕
Amazing work, Bridazul! Get the full story at the link in our bio.

#ProofCanada, a @uoft food-insecurity research program, found that 1 in 8 Canada households had inadequate or insecure access to food. Worse, this number is an underestimate, since the survey sample did not inclue three groups at high risk of food insecurity: people living on First Nations reserves, people in remote northern areas, or people who are without housing.

Enbridge Energy is attempting to run an enormous new tar sands pipeline through Ojibwe Treaty territory, Minnesota. Throughout the state, Indigenous people, tribes, organizations, and collectives are leading the fight to stop this climate disaster in the making.
✊
@giniwcollective, @theyesmen and #DeepSoupMedia think it's time these frontline communities have the resources to tell their own stories. That's why they're raising funds to provide media production gear and training for Indigenous activists on the frontlines of this fight.
✊
Their fund has already raised an incredible 92% of their goal - that $13,744!
Here's how they did it:
✅ Strategic, collaborative partnership between three like-minded groups
✅ Background information on why the pipeline violates Indigenous rights and sovereignty
✅ Clear and specific goal
✊
We applaud the hard work and courage of these three activist groups! Get the full story at the link in our bio.

@therapsil is a nonprofit advocacy group that helps patients suffering from end-of-life distress and anxiety access the medically proven benefits of psilocybin therapy.
🍄
Since August 2020, TheraPsil has successfully supported 13 Canadians to legally obtain, possess and use psilocybin for medical purposes through Health Canada Section 56 exemptions.
🍄
On FundRazr, they've already raised $105,872 - and all donations up to $250,000 will be matched by a generous, anonymous donor.
🍄
Here's what their campaign did right:
✅Focused on real patients who've benefited from psychedelic therapy and their stories
✅Used crowdfunding to complement their existing donor's offer to match donations
✅Explained what psilocybin therapy is and how it can help with end-of-life distress
🍄

With this innovative fundraiser, the Commemorative Air Force raised an incredible $161,971 for restoration, maintenance and repair of their historic planes, surpassing their goal of $150,000!
✈️
By keeping these airplanes in the sky, @caf1957 is preserving aviation history - in fact, some of these planes are the last flying example of their kind in the world!
✈️
Here's how their campaign had such success:
✅Donors had the option to support one of 33 micro-projects, each going to one squadron or aircraft.
✅A recurring, holiday-themed fundraiser builds on community interest
✅Interesting background on the planes' historical importance
✈️

@algomatrad brings together people of all ages share in the joy of traditional music, dance, and heritage arts. For the past 17 years, their annual Family Camp traditional arts festival has brought people together for dances, concerts, and workshops.
💜
Now, @algomatrad has secured a plot of land on historic St. Joseph Island to give their festival a permanent home. The site needs some major upgrades, so they're using FundRazr to raise the $300,000 it'll take to establish their long-envisioned, year-round centre for traditional arts and culture.
💜
Their campaign has already raised an impressive $106,371! Here's how they did it:
✅Government partnerships make funds raised go farther
✅Connected with their existing community of supporters
✅Lots of backstory on AlgomaTrad as a nonprofit - and their plans for the future

To push society forward and make great change, we must not be distracted by arbitrary distinctions. Focus on the few who oppress the many, not the tiny differences between ordinary people.

When you're new to a country, you have no network and no sense of belonging. In fact, you may have to redefine your very identity.
🌎
That's why @new_employment created their Sister2Sister Immigrant Women's Leadership program: to create safe spaces for immigrant women to feel connected, empowered, and share their gifts and talents with their community.
🤝
Since the program was introduced last fall, it's changed the lives of 20 women. Now, @new_employment has launched their #Project21x21 fundraiser, to raise enough money to bring 21 more women into the program this January.
🌎
So far, they've raised $35,126 - that's 80% of their goal!
Here's how they did it:
✅Participatory, peer-to-peer campaign model
✅Timely, urgent campaign with a clear goal
✅Focus on sharing the stories of actual program participants
🤝

To our amazing community of fundraisers, donors, nonprofit workers and people who care about changing the world, we wish you a safe, peaceful, and happy holiday season.

During a year that was anything but normal, we've been blown away by your generosity, kindness, and willingness to rise to the many challenges these past few months have brought.

Thank you for inspiring us, and we can't wait to make an even bigger impact in 2021. ...

@howellnaturecenter is Michigan’s largest wildlife rehabilitation clinic, and one of the few facilities in the state that can rehabilitate bald eagles. Rather than keeping wild animals cooped up in captivity, their goal is to help injured animals recuperate, getting them strong and healthy enough to return to life in the wild.
🦉
Usually, @howellnaturecenter brings in money from admission fees, summer camps, and school field trips - but this year required some serious adjustment. That's why they're asking their community to spread the cheer with a FundRazr campaign - and they've already raised over $18,000!
🦉
Here's how they did it:
✅Explained why they had to try out crowdfunding
✅Pictures of real animals they've helped
✅Made it seasonal

This time of year is all about togetherness, comfort, and community. As we celebrate, FundRazr is calling attention to the barriers that hold too many people back from safety, happiness, and quality of life.

Together, we've come so far - but now, we can make the future so much better than the past. ...

MEOWness Cat Adoptions brings happiness to homeless kitties who otherwise, might have been abandoned, and unloved. MEOWness Cat Adoptions gives these kittens a second chance by working to connect them with caring, well-screened, long-term homes.
🐈
Every year, the shelter puts on a holiday fundraiser to keep their little nonprofit moving through the coming year. This helps them provide things like foster care, cat food and kitty litter, and all the pricey vet services cats need to be adoption-ready, like microchips, vaccinations, spaying, and neutering.
🎄
This year, their #FundRazr campaign has brought in $4,840 - that's 167% of their goal!
Here's how they did it:
✅Adorable pictures of their cats (seriously, just look at them)!
✅Timely holiday-themed campaign
✅Frequent updates sharing how the cats are doing thanks to donors' help!
