If you are wondering “what is peer-to-peer fundraising and how realistic is it to let passionate supporters help raise funds?”, you’ve come to the right place. Peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraising is the ultimate strategic glow-up for raising donations. Unlike traditional fundraising models, the organization lets its community take the megaphone to spread the word for its cause. Yes, you heard us correctly. With P2P fundraising, your supporters become your biggest mission-builders by expanding your potential to drive donations. In fact, they spin up their own personal fundraising pages and rally their social circles. Sounds fun, right? If you have donors that are eager to lend a helping hand to your fundraising goals, then this P2P fundraising guide is for you. We’ll explain the ins-and-outs of P2P fundraising, including types of campaigns, peer-to-peer fundraising best practices, and how to use digital tools to make everything run smoothly.

That’s why more groups are moving to digital-first tools that bring everything together, from apparel sales to payments and order details, in one organized place. This guide breaks down what an online spiritwear store is, how it works, and why Cheddar Up is built specifically to support group-based apparel sales.

We see thousands of fundraiser ideas on Cheddar Up, but one that always stops our scroll is a well-orchestrated, absolutely gorgeous flower sale fundraiser or plant sale fundraiser.

This fundraiser is sow great for any group — schools, community groups, sports teams, bands and music associations, and high school agriculture classes — but the two organizations that crop up most are FFA and 4-H. Back when in-person events were tricky during the pandemic, many agriculture teachers and advisors discovered Cheddar Up as a seamless, virtual way to showcase and sell greenhouses full of their students’ hard work. Fast-forward to today, and they’re still using it (and spreading the word) because having payments, customized forms, and automatic tracking all in one place has completely transformed how plant sales are managed. Want in? Here’s how to set up an easy online flower or plant sale fundraiser.
