START A CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN
A great - and fun - way to support The Tipi Raisers in advancing our mission is to set up your own crowdfunding campaign. It's easy and helps The Tipi Raisers reach an ever wider network of people who can come to believe in this work as much as you do!
It's super quick and easy to start Fundraising! Here's How:
1. Click on this link, and the campaign page (pictured below) will come up. 2. Click the blue "Fundraise" button (see red arrow) found below under the picture of the little girls working together!
3. You'll then be prompted to set your fundraising goal and write a short note. You can copy and paste what we've provided below or write your own appeal:
Hey! Some of you probably know that I've been involved with a nonprofit called The Tipi Raisers that serves Native communities. It is an organization that provides year-round humanitarian aid on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota as well as hosting volunteer service groups on the Hopi and Navajo Nations in AZ. The Tipi Raisers goes much further than that though! They also provide employment opportunities to the Oglala Lakota people and provide skills training to create greater self-sufficiency for the Tribal members they work with. And across everything they do, they integrate efforts to empower youth, amplify Indigenous wisdom and promote healing and reconciliation between Native and non-Native people.
I invite you to join me in supporting this unique organization. Any amount helps to advance these critically important programs!
Remember, you can use the above as is, or customize it in any way you want to share more about your personal journey with the communities we serve together! It's super easy, and you can even create teams.
4. Share the fundraiser via email and social media with your network! Maybe include a meaningful story from your experience with The Tipi Raisers to help promote your fundraiser.
