Join the Crowd

Have you heard of CrowdRise? It's a cool new platform that allows anyone to raise money for another organization - doing whatever it is they want to do. AGSF isn't picky - if you want to knit the longest scarf and get donations for each foot you knit, go ahead. Or maybe you want to enter yourself in a hot dog eating contest and have your friends donate $100 per hotdog. Or just put a plea out to your friends and family and challenge them to give money to a worthy cause.

Anyway, the point is, if you're doing something that you think you can turn into a fundraiser and raise $10 or $1000 or $10,000 (and anything in between) to help A Giving Spirit Foundation then consider using CrowdRise as an easy way to spread the word and take online donations.

It's easy to start and easy to receive donations. Just create a project on the AGSF Charity Profile page and start spreading the word!

If you'd like to raise money toward a specific grant request, let us know and we'll talk about some of the deserving families we've received grant requests for and how you can help fulfill the grant.
