Your Miles Can Empower Marginalized Women
You will empower marginalized women with the resources they need to thrive when you hit the trail and raise funds. We’ve been leading fundraisers for years, and we’re here to walk you through yours! By following these steps and using the copy-and-paste templates we provide, you'll be well on your way to reaching your fundraising goal.
STEP 1: Create a Fundraiser
Now that you’ve registered for Run for HER, it’s time to build your fundraising page on Venture Miles.
Create an account or log in to your existing account at venturemiles.org
Click the ☰ menu button, go to Movements, and find Run for HER.
Click "Join" and fill out the form.
For a visual walk-through, check out this video.
STEP 2: Share Your Fundraiser
When you tell your community what you’re doing and why, your physical sacrifice on behalf of these women will inspire people to donate. Here are some practical tips to get started.
Be Your First Donor
Visit your fundraising page and make the first donation. Whatever amount you choose is great, and it tells your donors you're all in!
Make Your First Ask
The first ask is always the hardest, so start by asking someone you’re close to. Tell them you’re hitting the trail and raising money to empower marginalized women, and ask them to support your fundraiser.
Get Moving
Share a pic or video while you’re training. When people SEE your sacrifice toward a cause you care about, they will feel moved to give.
Remember, people want to support you. You just have to ask.
