Peer-to-Peer Fundraising: Why is it the most effective approach?
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) fundraising is a new and exciting way to donate to Trinity Rescue Mission! This unique tool empowers you to further support the homeless men, women and children of Jacksonville in a unique and personal way.
How Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Works
With absolutely no cost, P2P giving provides you a personalized fundraising landing page to share with your family, friends, colleagues and community members through email and social media. Simply add a message, photo or video explaining why you support Trinity Rescue Mission and encourage your friends to help fund the project/program of your choice. It’s that easy!
Many people have already utilized this giving method to raise large amounts of money for specific projects they care about.
To say our kitchen facility needed an upgrade is an understatement. We’ve been using dated appliances and equipment for many years, and if we wanted to feed more guests, a dramatic updated needed to happen. One day, our friends at F3 noticed this need and decided to do something about it. They started a P2P fundraiser in hopes of purchasing some items for the kitchen. Before we knew it, other individuals started their own P2P campaigns, and in a matter of weeks, we raised enough money to completely update the entire kitchen facility. This shows the power of Peer-to-Peer fundraising!
What makes Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Successful?
Peer-to-Peer fundraising allows us to connect with new community members, raise funds, and broaden the awareness of Trinity Rescue Mission. It allows us to reach more people, without spending money we could use to help more guests.
Michael Messer, our Development and Fundraising Director, said,
“People like Peer-to-Peer Fundraising because they don’t have to come up with all of the money themselves, rather they can rally the money through their Facebook friends or Instagram followers.”
