DIY Fundraising

Start Your Fundraising Journey Today

Our do it yourself fundraising program lets you turn any activity into a fundraiser. You can create, share, and manage a personalized fundraiser entirely on your own quickly and easily. Funds raised in collaboration with the American Cancer Society directly support breakthroughs in cancer research, 24/7 support for people facing cancer, access to lifesaving screening tests, and much more.

Not sure where to get started?


Just follow these three steps to turn any hobby, activity, or social event into a DIY fundraiser: 

Step 1: Come Up with an Idea

Think of an activity you enjoy doing (baking, exercise) or something you may not really want to do but think people would make a donation to see you do (dye your hair blue).

Step 2: Make It Repeatable

Find a way to make that task repeatable as a way to ask people for donations. For example, do a one minute plank daily or bake a batch of cookies for every $10 donation you get.

Step 3: Share Your Fundraiser

Share your fundraiser with your personal and professional networks, then continue sharing it every time you do that task!

Follow these simple steps to start your fundraiser today. Every dollar raised helps support our vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
