What is a Fundraiser?

A fundraiser is a new way for you to show support for the causes you care about during Give Hastings Day on May 2, 2024!


Create your own Fundraiser, set a fundraising goal, and then encourage your network of family, friends, and colleagues to support your favorite organization by sharing your Fundraiser's URL via email, social media, and more!

How to create a Fundraiser:

Step 1: Choose an organization to support
