A practical guide to personal fundraising
A clear story helps people understand what you need and decide whether to help. Use these steps to prepare your fundraiser and share it thoughtfully.
Write a clear, honest fundraising story
Explain who you are, what happened, what support you need, and how you will use the funds. Choose a specific title and a photo you own or have permission to use. Avoid publishing bank details, identity documents or other private information.
Break your goal into understandable costs. Include applicable fees when planning how much you need, and update the story if your circumstances change.
Start your personal fundraiserShare a fundraiser without social media
Send your campaign link to people you know with a short, personal explanation. Ask whether they would be comfortable sharing it. You can also ask a community organisation or newsletter editor whether they accept fundraising stories.
Respect each group's rules and avoid bulk unsolicited messages. Thank people for reading, sharing or contributing; nobody should feel pressured to donate.
Explore current fundraisersUnderstand donations, fees and progress
The amount raised and funding percentage show campaign progress, not the amount available for withdrawal. For new donations, Begslist deducts an 8% platform fee, with actual payment-processing fees deducted separately from the fundraiser's proceeds.
Withdrawals require review. A campaign ending or an order marked Completed does not automatically release funds.
Read the fundraising fee and withdrawal policyHelp supporters make an informed choice
Keep your goal, story and updates consistent. Explain how contributions help and share progress without exposing anyone's personal information. Do not promise a result you cannot guarantee.
Before donating, read the campaign carefully. If something is unclear, ask for clarification. Sharing a story is another way to help when you cannot donate.
