It only takes $25 to connect one person with access to clean water. You can ask 25 people to give you $1, or you can aim even higher. 100% of your donations go directly to the field!

Ask your friends and family to join you in your mission by giving.

You can send the link to your personal fundraising page to everyone you’ve ever met and watch the donations roll in.

Shh…Pro Tip:
Make a donation to your own fundraising page. Other people are more likely to donate when they see someone has already contributed. Donating some of your own money also shows your supporters that you are serious about helping our cause.

Email & Social Media Kit

Use the email below as a template to send to 5-10 of your closest contacts. Make it personal. The more personal, the more likely they will donate to your campaign. It’s as easy as copy & paste!

Dear Friend,

703 million people around the world do not have access to clean, safe drinking water. 3.5 billion do not have access to a private toilet. Together, we can change that. Help me raise money for water and sanitation projects in the Dominican Republic by donating to my fundraising campaign. I will be joining BLUE Missions on a service trip in the summer to build a water or sanitation project in a rural community.

[Insert link to your fundraising page]

Everyone deserves access to safe drinking water and a bathroom, no matter where they were born or what resources that have. Every donation will make a difference. 100% of all donations go directly to the field to complete the project I will be participating on.

Thank you for your support,
[Insert Your Name]

once you’ve demonstrated your personal commitment and contacted your close contacts, launch your campaign on social media.
