Your Guide to Getting Started

Special Occasion Campaign: Celebrate a birthday, graduation, or anniversary by creating a campaign where friends and family can make meaningful donations to Reality Gives on your behalf.

Athletic or Endurance Event: Use an upcoming race, athletic event, or challenge as an opportunity to raise funds while training.

Personalised Campaign: If you're hosting an event like a bake sale, BBQ, or another gathering, create a personalised campaign to support our educational programs.

The possibilities are endless! If you need more inspiration, feel free to contact us at info@realitygives.org

We recommend starting with an online fundraising page. To set one up, you’ll need a valid email address and physical address. You’ll also need to upload a photo or video for your page. We can guide you through the process, helping you select the best platform for your country and make your campaign stand out.
The funds you raise will support Reality Gives’ educational programs. You can choose to make a general donation, or, if you prefer, you can discuss with us the option to direct funds to a specific program or need (e.g., teacher salaries, supplies, or urgent requirements). Contact us at info@realitygives.org

Use your page to share your passion for Reality Gives and its mission. Include:
 - A compelling story about why you support our programs.
 - A profile photo or video.
 - Social sharing links and a comment wall for engagement.

We’ll provide inspiring images from our programs to help showcase our impact. Personalize the page to reflect your event or occasion, and explain why others should donate through your page. The more authentic and personal you make it, the more excited people will be to support you

Every fundraising page has a donation tool that makes it easy for people to contribute. After you create your page, set a fundraising goal and share the link with friends and family. You can write your own message or use the suggested one. When people visit your page, they can donate any amount securely, and their donation will count toward your goal.

Donations are usually transferred directly from your page to Reality Gives' bank account. In some cases, donations may be processed through third-party platforms like PayPal Giving Fund.

Here are some tips to increase your fundraising:
  - Promote your page: Share the link via email, social media, and websites.
  - Personalise your URL: Make it easy to remember and share.
  - Email signature: Add a link to your page in your email signature.
  - Create a challenge: Have fun by encouraging friends to compete to raise the most funds.
  - Update regularly: Keep your page fresh and engaging.
  - Spread the word: Talk about your campaign and its impact on others.
  - Suggest alternative gifts: Encourage friends and family to donate instead of giving traditional gifts for birthdays, weddings, or holidays.
  - Contribute personally: Set aside a portion of your paycheck for your campaign.
  - Thank your donors: Acknowledge everyone who contributes to your cause.
  - Use compelling visuals: Share a meaningful photo or ask us for one to enhance your page.

TESTIMONIALS

What Supporters Say About

My visit to Dharavi with Reality Tours and Travel moved me so much I was compelled to start my own fundraising campaign for them when I got home. Reality Gives is a fantastic charity and I’ve seen first-hand how the funds raised are directly helping the children to get the education they deserve. The children need us more than ever at this time – please support them.

After leaving our visit to Dharavi in Mumbai, I felt so much compassion, empathy, and hope for the tight-knit community we were so warmly welcomed into. There is a lot of opportunity to give back and make a huge impact on the youth living in this community. Education is so important for helping students find their passion & chase opportunities. My heart is full knowing we were able to support them & open the doors for their futures.
