Did you know that almost everyone who chooses crowdfunding is new to fundraising, which is why the PavelAndreev.ORG platform opens many doors for beginners and veterans alike. Here are some questions you're likely to ask:

1.What can I fundraise for to educate children and youth

The answer is for everything! At the Pavel Andreev Foundation ,you can start a campaign for any cause and there are thousands of users here doing it every day. PavelAndreev.ORG also provides you with endless opportunities to get involved and connect you with donors from all over the world. So, regarding fundraising for education of children and youth, such funds can be directed to purchase school aids and supplies, as well as to support programs and additional classes; as well as for any projects related to the educational process of adolescents; purchase of computers and other equipment needed in educational classes; repair and furnishing of school rooms, etc.

A similar campaign is the New ClassroomCampaign for Grade 9A.A teacher from a school in Rousse contacted us saying that she wanted to carry out refreshing repairs, but did not have the necessary budget to do so.Thanks to the donors who supported her cause in September the students will enjoy their new classroom.

2.Should I feel guilty when I ask for money?

When you choose to use crowdfunding for education, the question may come up as to whether you should feel guilty about it. Actually, there is no reason to feel guilty. Crowdfunding is an innovative way of raising funds that enables people to support and help achieve your goals. It's a way to connect with the community and get the support you need. Don't feel guilty, instead be grateful and thank the people who support your campaign.

3.What do I need to get started?

All you need is a phone and an internet connection and you can start your fundraising campaign to educate children and young people.

Free access to crowdfunding, be it via laptop, computer, phone or tablet is at your fingertips.

Once you have that you can start exploring platforms. Choose one that is easy and convenient to navigate, meets your needs, offers easy ways to pay, etc. When you know these important things, it can save you future headaches and unnecessary costs.

We recommend you take a closer look atthe Pavel Andreev Foundationplatform.

4.What should I consider for my crowdfunding campaign to educate children and youth

Your checklist for launching a crowdfundingcampaign to educate children and youth should include the following items:

  • Who the campaign is for - in this case children and youth, but will you be helping a specific person, a group of youth, an entire institution (school, orphanage, home for children without parents, or other), you need to decide this before launching one;
  • How much money you need - this is where you need to be clear about what exactly you are raising money for in the education campaign. Are the funds to purchase school supplies and materials; for school furniture; to cover the financial costs of a young person's secondary education, etc.;
  • Campaign time frame - this is where you need to be clear on when your campaign will run from, to. It can't be open-ended or until the entire amount is raised because that delays things, and creating a sense of urgency provokes donors to act, not sit on their hands;
  • Do you need ongoing access to funds - will you withdraw the amounts raised periodically or in one lump sum;
  • How you intend to promote your campaign - online only or other known, proven and older methods.

PavelAndreev is a user-friendly donation site. It's easy to navigate, and you can get guidance on every step you take from him and the team that works for him. You will be able to access the platform any time of the day 7/7 days a week.

5.What to write in my fundraising story for children and young people's education

For most fundraising organizations, this proves to be the hardest part. Realistically, all you need to remember boils down to the 4 easiest ways to plan a fundraising campaign to educate children and youth. They are:

  • Why you should fundraise for children and youth education;
  • Who (personally or as a group) these funds will be used for;
  • How much money your campaign needs;
  • When these funds are needed.

We at the Pavel Andreev Foundation have observed that the most successful campaigns range from 300 to 600 words.

Our tip: Be long enough to share your story. Short enough that you don't bore donors into leaving your campaign before they've donated. And most of all, be yourself!

6.What is the role of photos and videos

"They say a picture can describe a thousand words" - this is more than true through crowdfunding. The truth is that a well-chosen photo can significantly raise the amount you aim to raise. So why limit yourself to one picture?

PavelAndreev's platform allows you to upload a large number of photos. And, if photos do wonders, then imagine the power of a video. Adding a 2-3 minute video launches your campaign to a cosmic level. Video improves credibility; expands donor knowledge and has a lasting effect on them.

7.How to make your campaign stand out

Crowdfunding helps people raise funds for their campaigns quickly. To do this, PavelAndreev.ORG gives you the opportunity to make your crowdfunding campaign stand out bypersonalizing it:

  • Anattention-grabbing headline;
  • Adding photos, video and good quality content;
  • 6 payment methods - card, PayPal, ApplePay, GooglePay, Revolut and IBAN account;
  • Clear, targeted and appealing call to action;
  • Say thank you or make a gift.

8.How to advertise your campaign

Among the most important ways to plan a fundraising campaign to educatechildren and youth , this point is a must. In it, you need to promote your "product", but this is not at all about the trade you know, but advertising your fundraising campaign. There are many ways. Starting with the old granny tricks ofword of mouth, so you can reach social media, emails, blogs, forums with like-minded people, websites, and let's not forget the paper media - flyers and leaflets. As they say in marketing, "there's no such thing as bad advertising", and here too - there's no such thing as a bad way to advertise. Just pay attention to the importance of spreading your campaign to as large an audience as possible.

9.How to keep donors active

As in marketing and sales, "The customer is God", so here, your donors are "Kings". You must launch them in every way possible. This can be done, through thank you notes, personal thank you emails. You can modest gifts and whatever strikes your fancy. There is something else very important here. That is awareness and transparency. You need to give information about everything that's going on with your campaign. Post news, upload receipts for expenses incurred in the use of funds raised, etc.

10.How to get donations

Theways to receive the funds raised on a fundraising campaign is extremely well organized, secure and ensures complete transparency for donors, organizers and beneficiary alike. In Paul Andreev there is complete clarity about everything. You can, even check out the active campaigns for donation ideas.

11.If the campaign is unsuccessful - what to do

No one can guarantee that their campaign will be 100% successful. Yet, after all the hard work and time and care, we at the Pavel Andreev Foundation believe that the good work you have started will come back to you. Believe in kindness and think positive, not just today, but every day!
