Fundraise for a Great Cause
Do you have friends and family that want to support your volunteer efforts on your upcoming Alternative Break? We are providing our dedicated trail stewards the opportunity to make an even bigger impact on trails beyond their week of service by fundraising for American Hiking Society through Facebook. It’s easy to do and takes just 5-10 minutes. We will walk you through the steps below!
In addition to more “boots-on-the-ground”, raising funds for Alternative Break can earn you some really awesome gear to take on your next adventure.
Follow these 5 easy steps to help us in our mission to protect the places you love to hike:
1. Click on “Fundraisers” on the left sidebar under Explore.
2. Select “Raise Money”, under Getting Started with Facebook Fundraisers.
3. Select “Get Started”.
4. Select “Search Nonprofits” and enter American Hiking Society. Fill out your fundraising goals.
5. Personalize your fundraising page. You are welcome to use the provided content, or customize it to tell your story. Brag a little! You are spending your spring break giving back to trails and making a difference- you should be proud! Tell your story about why you volunteer and what others’ support means to you. Others might not understand why you volunteer or why you are dedicating your spring break to service work and this is your opportunity to tell them- and get a little trail love in return!
*Volunteers can raise funds and accept donations even after completion of their Alternative Break- the fundraiser will end whenever you set the end date. Please allow 1 month after the fundraiser ends for prizes to be mailed.
