Imagine turning event attendees into fundraisers who help spread your organization's mission and bring in more support. That is the power of peer to peer fundraising, which studies show can increase fundraising revenue by more than 25 percent, and with Pinwheel it is simple to use. Whether it is a 5K, an after school program, or any other type of registration event, this approach can inspire supporters and expand the impact of every gathering.

Why Peer to Peer Fundraising Works

• Greater Reach: When participants raise money for your cause, they introduce your mission to their friends, family, and coworkers.
• Stronger Community: Fundraising turns participants into ambassadors who share personal stories that inspire others.
• Built In Motivation: People fundraise when they feel connected to the cause, and their excitement spreads to others.
• Friends and Family Support: Donors are often motivated to give because they want to support the passion and commitment of someone they know.
• More Revenue with Less Work: Instead of relying only on your organization, peer to peer fundraising multiplies efforts through authentic, personal outreach.

How Pinwheel Makes It Easy

Pinwheel combines the power of peer fundraising with automation and gives you three different ways to create fundraisers, so you can focus on results:

1. Participants Can Build Their Own Page During Registration
   Participants create their own fundraising page when they register for events by adding titles, messages, and goals. Pages go live immediately, and links and details can be included on registration receipts.
2. Pinwheel Can Generate Pages During Registration
   Pinwheel can generate fundraising pages during registration without asking participants for details. Instead, the account provides the values, and Pinwheel creates the fundraising pages using those settings. This keeps registration quick while still allowing pages to be personalized later.
3. You Can Create Fundraisers Any Time
   Fundraising pages can be generated in bulk for all registered participants at once. This approach provides flexibility to begin the campaign at the best time for the organization, which may be after registration closes. You can notify participants at any time that fundraising pages have been created and are ready to share.

Managing and Assessing Results

Pinwheel not only sets up fundraisers but also helps you measure and improve them. Donor Dashboards show top fundraisers, donation sources, first time donors, and trends so you know where to focus.

You can send follow ups, segment the best fundraisers, and celebrate milestones. This creates lasting engagement, stronger relationships, and more momentum for the mission.

Pinwheel also allows the account to set minimum fundraising requirements for participants. You can track which fundraisers have not yet met the target, send reminders, and even collect outstanding balances automatically. This ensures goals are clear and results stay on track.
