Sharing progress is a great way to boost excitement!
Your biggest fans want to see you succeed,
and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is real.

Does a fund that your program, student organization, or team cares about have a "challenge gift"?

This means a community member (or a group of them) have offered to give a huge donation to the fund you care about (and that they care about too!) if a certain number of donors joins them.

Tell your friends and colleagues about the challenge and keep them updated on how close they are in unlocking the big donation.
