We are pleased you want to help us fundraise and spread the word about Step Up’s life-changing services with individuals experiencing homelessness and mental health conditions. When we come together, we can make recovery possible for many more individuals. This #GivingTuesday, November 30th, you can mobilize and inform your networks with just a few simple steps. Here are some ideas on how you can get started:
1. COPY AND PASTE TO SHARE ONE OF OUR GRAPHICS
Right-mouse click and “copy” one of the GRAPHICS below, then “paste” and post to your social media. Be sure to tag us in your post to explain who we are @stepuponsecond on Instagram/Twitter and @stepuponsecondst on Facebook.
2. USE THIS SAMPLE MESSAGE:
“I’m participating in Step Up’s advocacy and fundraising challenge this #GivingTuesday because they have helped over 4,000 individuals experiencing chronic homelessness and mental health conditions this past year. You can join me in fundraising for mental health services that are critical to getting more people housed and helping them stay housed. This #GivingTuesday, just $50 can fund meals, $100 can cover two hours of workforce development for Step Up’s members or fund other life-changing supportive services. If mental health and reducing homelessness matters to you, would you help us stop the stigma and support vital mental health services? My goal is to have ___ people share this post and hopefully donate too! Will you join me in sharing this message of hope and recovery? We can do so much when we come together.”

FUNDRAISE WITH VENMO BINGO
Want to raise $100 for case management services that will change lives? Share our Fundraiser Bingo cards which allow you to break up your goal into small donation increments of just $5 and $10. Encourage your friends to Venmo you, repost the template with the amount donated crossed out and tag them. This way, you will give recognition to your donors and others will know how much money you have left to raise.
When you donate your total amount to Step Up, be sure to note that your donation is for the #GivingTuesday campaign, so we can add it to our own fundraising goal, and it is matched.
