How It Works
Start a Fundraiser
Get started fundraising by choosing an area to support and determining a goal. A personal fundraising page allows you to create and customize a webpage with your own story, photos or video about why you are fundraising to support Duke Cancer Institute. Log in to your Fundraising Dashboard to make your fundraising page your own.
Spread the Word
Share your page with your friends and family via email, text and social media. Your Fundraising Dashboard allows you to send emails directly through our platform so you can see who has opened and responded to your emails. Make sure to share your personal page URL for your friends and family to donate directly to your page.
Reach out to skg17@duke.edu for a Fundraising Toolkit to learn more about spreading the word.
Track Your Progress
Watch your progress grow and exceed your goals to support Duke Cancer Institute! Along the way you can receive milestone badges to recognize your great work.
Saying thank you to those who support you is important! Login and visit your Fundraising Dashboard o see a list of donors and send customized thank you notes.
