How to make your fundraiser page stand out (no design skills needed)

Simple changes to your fundraising page's content and visuals that make a big difference

Your Jamboree fundraising page is often the first impression a potential supporter gets. Make a few small changes to your page to give it a more personal and trustworthy vibe—one that motivates people to support you!

1. Add a Clear, Personal Photo

Photos of your team, group, or cause build instant trust. People want to support people — not logos.

What does the best photo look like?

  • Use a picture of smiling faces, your team in action, or a moment that shows what you're fundraising for.
  • Avoid group shots where faces are too small to see.
  • No group photo? A single picture of one team member is better than nothing.

2. Have Your Headline Speak to the Goal

Your headline should say what you need and why it matters. People see your headline first — make it count.

Stuck trying to write one? Consider these formats:

  • Help us get to Nationals — every $20 plants a tree and supports our trip!
  • Support the robotics team — your support helps us buy new parts and compete!

State your case and give something that'll excite your supporters.

3. Keep Your Story Short and Specific

Shorter stories usually work better, so long as your fundraising story is real and specific.

Try this structure to write your story:

  • Who are you? (Just one sentence)
  • Why do you need funds?
  • Why does it matter now?

People will support you when your need is real and time-sensitive.

4. Explain Your Supporters' Impact

People want to know exactly what they're supporting. Share the impact their support creates.

For example, with FunditForward, you could say:

  • $20 plants a tree in Indiana and gets us one step closer to our travel goal.

Clear impact helps people connect emotionally and feel like their support matters.

5. End With a Human Touch

Close your story with something real and warm. A simple "Thank you for supporting our team — it means a lot to us!" can go a long way.

Use a first name or other personal details in your sign-off if you can:

  • "Thank you! — Coach Jenna"
  • "Thanks for your support! — The Central HS Cheer Team"

Final Tip: You don't need to be a designer or writer to strengthen your fundraising page. Focus on clarity, sincerity, and showing people exactly what they're supporting!
