Ideas to promote your cause
The more members that select your cause and shop with us, the more funding your project will receive.
You should encourage members to select you as their cause by promoting your project online, on social media and in your community.
Online

If you have a website add a link to your cause’s unique profile page so members can easily find and select you as their local cause.
