Fundraising Guide for YCVF Fundraisers
Peer-to-peer fundraising allows you to raise funds for YCVF/Catholic Online School by creating your own fundraising page, telling your story, and sharing it with your network. It’s a powerful way to expand support for our cause while earning a personal payout for your efforts.
How It Works
- Create Your Fundraiser Page
Sign up on our website to create a personalized fundraising page. Include your story, why you’re supporting YCVF, and set a fundraising goal. We’ll provide templates and tools to make the setup easy. - Share with Your Network
Use social media, email, and word-of-mouth to share your fundraiser. The more personal you make your appeal, the more effective it will be. You can also participate in friendly challenges or form teams to encourage more donations. - Track Your Progress
Our platform will allow you to track your donations in real time, celebrate milestones, and send thank-you messages to your donors.
Earnings and Payouts
- 25% Payout for Every Dollar Raised
As a YCVF Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser, you’ll earn 25% of every dollar you raise, paid out monthly (less bank processing fees). This income is to recognize your hard work and dedication in supporting our mission. - Monthly Payments by YCVF
Payouts will be calculated at the end of each month and sent to the bank account you provide after your first month of fundraising. This structure allows you to generate ongoing income while helping a cause you believe in.
