Instead of waiting for your organization to launch a new campaign, individuals can take initiative and create fundraisers whenever they feel inspired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These peer-driven efforts allow supporters to set a personal <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fundraising goal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, share why your cause matters to them, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">invite people<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in their networks to contribute.
