A Step-By-Step Guide
To Creating Your Own Fundraiser
For the past few years the Himalayan Institute’s Global Humanitarian Team has launched large scale Peer-2-Peer fundraisers to support the mission of our work. Himalayan Institute (HI) community members around the world have taken action by creating personal campaigns, mobilizing friends and family, and fundraising to fight poverty. The collective power of these personal campaigns strengthens our HI community, expands our network, and provides the energy and resources that allow our global projects to continue thriving year after year.
This year, with our brand new website, creating a personal fundraising campaign is easier than ever! Let us show you how it works.
