Good afternoon, Climate Activists!
The Team at 350 Chicago is excited to announce a new fundraising effort to commemorate World Environment Day on Friday, June 5th! World Environment Day is an annual celebration honoring the Earth and its life-sustaining ecosystems. Our fundraising will begin the morning of June 5th and continue for one week, using the Give Lively platform.
So what is Give Lively? It's a Peer-to-Peer platform that leverages social media to raise money for a cause by asking your own friends and followers to make a donation. This allows YOU to help 350 Chicago directly, simply, and easily through your own fundraising page.
To get started, go to Give Lively's 'Create a Fundraising Page' for 350 Chicago.
Setting up your fundraising page only takes a few minutes: create a profile, add a personalized message and a donation goal, upload your favorite picture of yourself doing something environmentally-friendly, and then share it on your social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). It’s just that easy!
The 350 Chicago Fundraising Team has created this kit with sample posts you can use when promoting your fundraiser on social media. Feel free to create your own messages to personalize your posts. Also, watch for updates from us over the next 2 weeks with further instructions for social media posting.
Let’s all pitch in and try to raise money from our friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
If you would simply prefer to donate to 350 Chicago, visit our Donation Page and choose either your one-time donation or monthly donation amount.
While we understand money is tight during this difficult time of pandemic, we welcome any contribution; every dollar counts. Even donations of $5 can help us continue our fight to have the City of Chicago divest from fossil fuel assets, support CEJA and efforts to increase clean energy infrastructure and related jobs in Illinois, and all of our other work on behalf of climate and the planet.
Most importantly, let’s have some fun with this!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and ask.
Best regards,
The 350 Chicago
Fundraising Team
