NuPath, Inc., an organization in Woburn, Massachusetts, advocates for people with disabilities and provides an array of services to them and their families. And they’ve found the secret sauce when it comes to meeting and exceeding their peer-to-peer fundraising goals!<\/p>\n

Want proof? From 2014-2016, NuPath’s average amount raised per fundraiser increased from $90.20 to $510.78! Their 2018 event was a record-breaker, with just over $184,000 donated or entered through\u00a0Qgiv\u2014that’s 123% of their fundraising goal!<\/p>\n

With a little elbow grease and following best practices from NuPath, you can do it, too! Here’s how to set yourself up for peer-to-peer success.<\/p>\n

1. For peer-to-peer success, get social<\/strong><\/h4>\n

NuPath’s social channels were on fire before, during, and after their 2018 Walk the Walk event. Their Executive Director, Dan Harrison, posted frequent video updates and encouragement. A member of 2017’s top fundraising family\u00a0starred in\u00a0an event launch video outlining 2018’s fundraising goal and the resources NuPath offers.\u00a0They also encouraged people to sign up as\u00a0participants.<\/p>\n

Their frequent video updates included some funny ones, too. One of them was an entertaining video of Dan shoveling snow in front of the facility, and he promised\u00a0to ensure they’d be snow-free for the event. But it wasn’t all fun and games! They also used the opportunity to provide a fundraising update.<\/p>\n

Another great way they shared progress was by posting screenshots of their fundraising thermometer. It’s an eye-catching way to get people to stop scrolling through their feeds\u00a0to read your post!<\/p>\n

\"peer-to-peer<\/a><\/p>\n

NuPath even shared a video update from a team who held a fundraiser within the fundraiser!\u00a0They hosted a “Taste of Italy” dinner to raise funds for the Walk. Their video was shared on social media to encourage other teams to host similar events. It was also\u00a0a great way to foster an atmosphere of friendly competition.<\/p>\n

They posted promotional videos on their YouTube channel and shared those, as well! This video is just 43 seconds long, but it packs a punch!<\/p>\n
