Raised $2,500

Raised $2,500 for a cause through coordinated fundraising, multiple channels, multiple contributors, documented accounting.

The idea

$2,500 doesn't come from one big ask. It comes from twenty smaller ones across channels: text, in-person, email, family, neighbors, online. Have your kid build the list first: who, how much, how to ask. Track responses. The follow-up to the people who said maybe is where the difference between failure and success actually lives. Most fundraisers fail at the follow-up, not the original ask.

Steps
  1. Build the donor list: names, contact methods, ask amounts.
  2. Use multiple channels.
  3. Track responses. Follow up with maybes.
  4. Document the accounting.
What counts

$2,500 raised across multiple contributors and channels with full accounting. The ledger is plenty.
