CHANGE BEGINS WITH YOU!
Fundraise For Gender Equality is a Crossroads International campaign to empower our supporters and friends to raise funds and awareness for our vision of creating ONE WORLD where poverty is eliminated, equality prevails, and the rights of women and girls are fulfilled.
People across the country are joining forces to become Gender Equality Champions through a fundraising activity of their choice.
Please join us today and help empower marginalized women and girls living in sub-Saharan Africa. Participating is simple: Sign up, create a fundraising page for yourself or join a team, share your page or your team’s, and ask your friends and family to support your fundraiser.
How to Start Fundraising
1. Understand the Need
Never has the need of women, girls and youth been more urgent. Gender inequality is resulting in increased sexual abuse and violence against women and girls and the denial of their basic human rights.
2. Create Your Fundraiser
Help women and girls living in Sub-Saharan Africa! Join Crossroads International to show that you are embracing what it means to be a Gender Equality Champion.
3. Make a Difference
Your funds support Crossroads’ efforts to invest in local partner organizations in 9 African countries where we operate and will help adapt existing programs to deliver essential services and respond to urgent needs. See your impact at work!
Ideas to Start Fundraising
Go Green Challenge
Join thousands of Canadians taking on quirky and creative green challenges that pledge a special action for environmental initiatives. Choose a fun activity, decide how long you’re going to do it and get donors to bring your challenge to life. Ideas could be biking to work or school for a month, walk instead of driving, or pick up 10 pieces of litter each day for 30 days.
Special Occasion
Celebrate and dedicate your birthday, anniversary, or other special day to helping empower women and girls living in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Unleash Your Creativity
If you can imagine it, you can do it the world is your oyster! Bring your unique fundraising vision to life. Do a virtual movie night, do some spring cleaning and organize a garage sale, host a bake sale… The possibilities are as limitless as your creativity!
Athletic Events
Combine your physical and fundraising goals to achieve a victory for yourself. When you win, the women and girls you are supporting also win. From a marathon to a bike-a-thon, the possibilities are endless. The activity might leave you tired and hot but raising funds is no sweat and Crossroads International will help you every step of the way.
