Peer-to-Peer Fundraising: How to Launch and Scale

Peer-to-peer fundraising empowers your supporters to raise money on your behalf — through personal fundraising pages, social sharing, and team challenges — turning your most engaged donors into an unpaid development team.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does P2P fundraising differ from crowdfunding?

P2P relies on individual fundraisers creating personal campaigns under your umbrella. Crowdfunding is typically a single campaign page where you drive traffic directly.

What is a reasonable goal for P2P fundraiser captains?

Ask each captain to raise $500-$1,000 and recruit 5-10 personal donors. Set the bar achievable to encourage participation.

How do I retain donors acquired through P2P?

The #1 mistake is treating P2P donors as one-time gifts. Import them into your CRM immediately and start a tailored welcome series that connects them to your mission, not just the person who asked.
