Fundraising Tips

With more than 35 million people affected by lung disease in the US, each and every dollar raised to support research, programs and advocacy efforts is needed. We need your help, today!

Want to know how to get the most out of your online fundraising efforts? Follow these steps to success:

• Make a Self-Donation. Kick-start your fundraising today and show your donors you are passionate about the cause
• Customize your Personal Fundraising page with why you run or walk
• Send emails to friends, family and co-workers, asking them to support you in your fundraising efforts
• Use Fundraise with Facebook application available through your participant center

Fundraise on-the-go with our mobile apps

The LUNG FORCE Run/Walk mobile app is available for Apple and Android devices. Your fundraising will be easier and more convenient than ever before - all in the palm of your hand.

Use the mobile app to:

• Send pre-crafted donation and thank you emails to your friends
• Easily send pre-crafted donation requests through text, Facebook, LinkedIn, twitter or email.

Matching Gifts

Your donations can go even further with a matching gift! Many companies offer matching gift programs in which the company will match an employee’s contribution to a charitable organization. If you are not sure if you qualify for a matching gift, please use the company search tool below. The tool will provide you with information regarding minimum and maximum match criteria, as well as steps on how to get started.

Some companies without a formal program may still match your gift, if you ask your personnel or human resources department.

Most importantly, don’t forget to keep the FUN in FUNdraising! There is nothing like the satisfaction of knowing you are making a difference in someone’s life whether you have a personal connection or you are participating for all those affected by lung disease.

We’re here to help! It’s your run/walk and we’ll be here to help you make it an experience you won’t forget.
