Jewish Federation of St. Louis

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Campaign

Thank you so much for helping raise funds for the Jewish Federation of St. Louis. Our work is possible because of our incredible community of people just like you! This year we’ve set up an easy peer-to-peer toolkit for you to make your impact even greater. What is peer-to-peer fundraising? It’s when people like you share with your community why you support an organization, what impact they’ve made and help raise even more money to continue that great work.

Best of all? We’ve made it incredibly easy for you. We have set up some simple step-by-step instructions, ideas for how to share your story and more to make it easy for you to help.

For this year’s Peer-to-Peer campaign, we are using Facebook as our way of reaching people. The first step in your Facebook Peer-to-Peer campaign is to set it up on your page. 

By clicking the link below it will automatically create a post for you to make your own and start raising money for Federation.

Making it your own: Edits can be made on the left hand side under DETAILS

  1. The first thing you can specify is how much money you want to raise (we suggest $500, but make it your own!).
  2. Edit the end of the fundraiser to the correct end date (we suggest starting 11/28 and going through 12/31).
  3. Edit the title and description if you would like. Feel free to make the description and your reasoning behind donating and appealing for others to donate personal/customized.
  4. Create the campaign.

It’s that easy!
