Description

I recently ended a fundraiser I’d been doing for Hope International without reaching my fundraising goal. Well, without reaching my stretch goal.





Some things I could have done differently.






  1. Planned the fundraiser.




  2. Partnered with others to help get the word out and for additional support.




  3. Set incremental goals instead of one huge stretch goal.




  4. Widened the scope of the fundraiser.





I also gained a little insight into Instagram’s algorithm. Listen in for what I learned.
