One powerful way to support WASI and the seniors we serve in our community is through engaging your personal community to help. Anyone can create a fundraiser for WASI on Facebook, and we would really appreciate it if you chose to help in this way. Should you choose to do so, step-by-step directions are below.
- On your “Home” page, click the “Fundraisers” button in the menu on the left of your screen.
- Click the “raise Money” button under the “Create a Fundraiser” headline.
- Select the “Nonprofit” option in the pop-up window.
- Type in “Wasilla Area” and select “Wasilla Area Seniors Inc”.
- Choose an amount to raise. We suggest $400.
- Choose an end date. (For the holiday campaign, we suggest ending January 1, 2018)
- Click “Next”
- Copy and paste “Mat-Su Seniors Need Your Help” as the title
- In answering, “Why are you raising money?”, you may either personalize your reason, use what Facebook auto-populates, or copy and paste the following response, “I want to help make sure local seniors have food to eat and a community to be a part of.”
- For a cover photo, click the “Edit” icon with a camera next to it.
- Upload a photo that means something to you regarding seniors, download an image from our website and use that, or choose one of their stock pictures if this will be too burdensome.
- Click “Create” and your fundraiser is ready to go.
- To make sure that your friends see your fundraiser, you can choose to invite them directly.
- Now share your fundraiser on your page, and make sure to thank everyone who gives to WASI.
- And thank you for putting yourself out there to do this for us!!
