Peer to Peer

Thank you for choosing the homeless families served by Family Promise of Greater Cleveland as the beneficiary of your Peer-to-Peer Campaign (P2P). These types of campaigns have been proven to be easy fundraisers, with only a minimum of time needed to raise a significant amount of money in a very organic way. Please read below for the steps to take to have a successful campaign. If you need more guidance, need stats or other supporting information, or simply have any questions- please reach out to Connie Sievers at CSievers@familypromisecle.org

Step 1- Determine a fundraising goal and a time frame in which to achieve it. Two weeks is the typical time frame and the amount raised can range from in the $100s to the $1,000s.

Step 2- Decide how you will reach out to your peers (family, friends, colleagues, etc.) E-mails and social media are casual ways to do a P2P, but feel free to get creative! Have a BBQ, throw a dinner party- whatever fits your style!

Step 3- Make a list of who you will reach out to. Who shares your passion for helping others?

Step 4- Create a template for your “ask.” We encourage creativity and heart. Sharing why you have chosen to raise money for Family Promise, sharing statistics on homelessness and/or sharing personal experiences can all be powerful.

Step 7- Pat yourself on the back. You rock!
