Read the Playbook →Your goal: raise 25% on day one. Here's how you do that.
Before you post publicly, reach out to {{ pledgerRange }} people who are going to commit to give on day one. Campaigns that do that have the greatest likelihood of reaching their goal.
Post a campaign update. Thank early donors by name. Campaigns with updates raise 3x more than those that go silent after launch.
Sharing Resources →You have one week left. Reach out personally to anyone who hasn't given. Plan a final 72-hour push in the last few days: share exactly where you stand and what it takes to finish.
The campaign closes. Rivergate sends a close-out email to all donors, including anonymous givers. Post your own public thank-you, thank donors personally, and notify Rivergate so disbursement can begin.
Pray With Us
Each week, we ask coordinators to pray a simple thing: that the right people see this need, and that every gift counts toward something that lasts. Before you move to the next step, take a moment to pray for the person you're advocating for, and for the donors who haven't found the campaign yet. We believe prayer is not separate from the practical work. It's part of it.
