Profile page: community fundraising

Your GiveMatch profile page isn’t just a place to receive donations, it’s a powerful tool to inspire your community to fundraise on your behalf.
💡 Why fundraise on GiveMatch?
1. Donations can be doubled
Every donation made through a supporter’s fundraiser has the potential to be matched. That means fundraisers can tell their network: “Donate to my fundraiser, and your gift could be doubled!” - 84% say they’re more likely to donate if their donation could be doubled.
2. It builds awareness organically
Because donors need to invite two or more friends to donate via their unique link in order to unlock match funding, each donation creates a ripple effect of sharing. It’s fundraising with built-in virality.
3. Support goes further
When donations are matched, supporters feel even more connected to your cause through their increased impact, and motivated to do more.
🚀 How to activate fundraisers from your profile page
- Use the "Fundraise for us" link
Your profile page includes a dedicated button for supporters to start their own fundraiser. Share this link directly in your communications with your communuity or guide people to your profile where they can explore and get started.
- Highlight match funding in your messaging
When you promote fundraising, always lead with the fact that donations can be doubled. Make it clear this isn’t just fundraising, it’s fundraising with extra impact and community drive.
- Feature supporter fundraisers
Spotlight community-led fundraising efforts in your newsletters or via social media to inspire others. Use your profile page as a hub to showcase what’s already happening and the impact your commuinity has already made.
- Create moments or challenges
Set a weekly fundraising challenge or a time-limited goal (e.g., "Can you raise £150 this week to unlock £300 for our mission?"). Encourage your supporters to participate in walks, runs and other sponsored activities, or set up their own fundraising drives.
