Fundraising for Girl Up
As part of the Girl Up movement, you can fundraise to support girl empowerment programs around the world. Girl Up invests in United Nations and other partner organizations around the world to directly impact the lives of adolescent girls. To date, Girl Up has raised $8.5 million for these programs and impacted the lives of more than 40,000 girls in developing countries.
So how can you fundraise? Girl Up offers fundraising challenges throughout the year for clubs, and there are tons of resources (check them out on the right) to help you come up with fundraising ideas and strategies. Check out a step-by-step guide for creating your club's online team fundraising page through Classy. We also have personal fundraising challenges that you can sign up for at any time:
