Grassroots Finance Committee Resources

Before getting started with fundraising, please familiarize yourself with the Fundraising Guidelines. 

Once you know the rules, here are some easy ways to share your support for the campaign and ask for contributions:

  • Call or email your friends or meet them for coffee and explain why you are supporting Mr. Kennedy and ask for their support.
  • Share Team Kennedy posts on social media along with a personal message and include your donation link.
  • Host an in-person gathering such as breakfast or watch party with a suggested donation.
  • Teach a yoga, fitness, or other class for a suggested donation. 
  • Ask your friends and community to make a donation in lieu of birthday gifts. 
  • Host an online gathering with an educational component or discussion with a suggested donation.
  • Set up a table at a local event or farmer’s market. 

Your imagination and the fundraising guidelines are the only limits!
