Salam, and welcome to LaunchGood
We’re so glad you’re here.
Starting a fundraiser is a powerful act of service. Whether you're raising money for your masjid, supporting a loved one, or driving a movement, what you're doing matters. And the best part? You're not doing it alone.
This guide walks you through how to launch with ease, connect with your supporters, and grow your impact. We're here to support you at every stage, inshaAllah.
Your fundraising journey starts here
Let’s take it step by step:
1. Create your account
Before starting your fundraiser, make sure you have an account by visiting LaunchGood.com/login.
Once you’re logged in and have created your fundraiser, you’ll be able to access your profile. From there, you can manage your fundraiser, track progress, post updates, and more—all in one place.
2. Set up your fundraiser
Go to LaunchGood.com/create to begin. This is where you’ll share your vision, set your goal, and add your story, photos, and videos.
3. Share your story
Your story is how you connect with donors. It should feel honest, hopeful, and clear.
Here are some helpful tips:
- Choose a title that stands out
- Write a short summary that explains why this cause matters
- Add real photos or a video so people can connect with you
- Break down how the funds will be used so donors feel confident
- Use giving levels (like $25, $50, or $100) to help people make quick decisions about donating
4. Prepare before you launch
The most successful fundraisers start with support from their own circle. Whether you’re fundraising as an individual or with a team, early momentum makes a big difference.
To get ready:
- Reach out to 5 -10 close friends, family members, or team members to be your first supporters
- Write a few short messages you can send through WhatsApp, email, or social media
- Think ahead about how you’ll re-energize your audience during the last few days
5. Launch with confidence
When your fundraiser goes live, start by inviting your inner circle to donate. Their support builds trust and shows others this is worth backing.
Aim to raise at least 20 to 30 percent of your goal in the first 48 hours. This early traction often leads to long-term success.
6. Keep building your impact
Once you're live, there are many ways to grow your reach and inspire more support.
