Tips

Use a Picture That Represents Your Project Well
Choose an image that looks professional and clearly represents you or your beneficiary. Remember, this is the first thing people will see about your project — make it count!

Tell a Compelling Story
Share as much information as possible about your cause. Put yourself in the donor’s shoes: is the story you’re telling powerful enough to inspire someone to give? If not, take the time to add more details or refine what you’ve already written.

Set a Smart Fundraising Goal
We recommend adding a 20% buffer to your target amount to cover processing and service fees. Also, aim for a realistic goal — setting a very high target may discourage potential donors if it feels unreachable.

IslandFundMe provides the platform for receiving donations, but promoting your project is entirely your responsibility. Be proactive, creative, and bold in sharing your message — the more you spread the word, the greater your chances of success!
