Fundraise for Seattle Children’s

Create a Fundraising Page

A personal fundraising page is a web-based platform that invites your donors to give online. Each page can benefit the fund of your choosing at Seattle Children’s and provides an area for you to share your story and photos. With a set goal, a scrolling donor list and a thermometer that fills as you reach your total, an online page will engage your supporters as they help you reach your goal!

Seattle Children’s will issue an individual tax-deductible receipt for each gift made by a donor to your page. Utilizing a fundraising page is an effective way to raise funds for Seattle Children’s without having to keep track of totals. They can easily be shared to social media pages, have no minimum fundraising requirements and can be used year after year.

  • Why a fundraising page and not GoFundMe?

    When you raise money through a Seattle Children’s fundraising page, donations are directed immediately to Seattle Children’s and no processing fee is taken from your fundraising total. Additionally, Seattle Children’s is then able to thank each individual donor from your page and issue individual receipts for tax deduction. GoFundMe and other crowdfunding sites do not offer us a way to thank your donors and may also charge fees to process your donors’ gifts.

  • Can Seattle Children’s help cover my event expenses?

    Unfortunately, we are not able to cover fundraising event expenses. However, we can assist you with the wording you use to ask community members to provide donations. Please note that once a gift is made to your fundraising page, it is directly deposited and cannot be redirected to you to cover expenses.
