Firstgiving pages are perfect for your walkathon or other pledge-based event, and they are a great way to jumpstart grassroots fundraising. A recent case study showed that fundraisers who use our pages raise 2.5 times more than those who don't. Our pages make it easy for fundraisers to ask for donations from more people than they would with offline methods alone.
