Campaign steps

Keep the fundraiser simple.

1

Pick a target

Choose $800 for coordinator tools, $1,200 for reading checks, $3,500 for tutor stipends, $10,000 for the full first cycle, or a custom goal.

2

Use a clear ask

Ask people to fund a real budget line: local tutors, reading checks, mentor coordination, training materials, coordinator tools, or public updates.
