HELP OUR FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY
CHOICE’s ability to help rural communities fight devastating poverty is only as powerful as the number of people who give to our cause.
Most people are already thinking about giving to a meaningful organization for #GivingTuesday—with your help, we hope they'll give to CHOICE.
OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE 500 SUPPORTERS OF CHOICE EACH HOST A $500 FUNDRAISER.
Will you be one of the 500 people?
SETTING UP A FUNDRAISER
It's easy to set up a fundraiser. In just a few minutes, you can be on your way to raising money for vulnerable and underserved communities. Every dollar you raise will help.
Set up a fundraiser on Facebook or GoFundMe and select "CHOICE Humanitarian" in the nonprofit options.
If you haven't set one up before, it's quick and easy! Each platform has step-by-step prompts. Read how to start a Facebook nonprofit fundraiser here, or launch your GoFundMe nonprofit fundraiser here.
Enter a fundraising goal for $500. However, the sky is the limit! Aim for a higher goal for your chance to win a CHOICE expedition.
For the person who brings in the most funds in a single fundraiser, we are giving away a CHOICE expedition (fee only; flights not included).
If you've always wanted to go on an expedition, this is an opportunity to raise #GivingTuesday funds for our work and get to the field to be a part of the impact. Restrictions apply.
