3 Quick Ways to Boost Participation Before You Launch

Getting ready to launch your next Snap! Raise fundraiser? A strong start can make all the difference. Before your campaign goes live, you can take a few quick actions to boost participation, increase momentum, and set your team up for success from day one. These tips take just minutes, but can lead to more donations, more rewards, and more engagement with participants and parents.

1. Motivate participants with Rewards.

Snap! Raise has 5 tiers of branded prizes that feature your team or group logo. Participants earn a prize based on the milestone the reach during the fundraiser. They will select the prize they want for each milestone when they join the fundraiser. It’s no extra work for you, because Snap! handles the production and shipping!

For a limited time, save over 40% on Rewards! PLUS, participants will earn a $5 gift card once they have 20 delivered emails, 10 texts sent, and 1 donation received. Promo ends Sept. 30, 2025.

2. Send the parent letter.

Before your fundraiser launches, be sure to send out the parent letter so that families have time to review the details, set expectations, and ask questions. The parent letter gives families information about Snap! Raise’s successful history and strong security practices, as well as an overview of what to expect when fundraising with Snap! Raise.

3. Send reminders to participants.

Using your group leader dashboard, you can check to see if participants have joined, or have added email and phone numbers of potential donors. Then, use Messaging in the Snap! Mobile App to chat with your group and remind participants to get started and add their supporters’ info to the fundraiser! This is also a great time to shoutout any participants who have already hit their email and phone number goals!

When it comes to fundraising, a little prep goes a long way. By motivating your participants with rewards, keeping families informed, and using built-in messaging tools, you’ll set the tone for a high-performing fundraiser, right from the start. Take these simple steps now, and you’ll be on your way to a record-breaking season with Snap! Raise.
