The fine print

Fundraiser guidelines.

Simple rules that keep every page safe for kids and families.

  • All gifts go directly to Sawyer's Wish. Organizers never collect or hold money.
  • Use first names and a last initial for anyone named on your page.
  • Don't share photos or details of hospital patients.
  • Organizers under 18 need a parent or guardian to approve the page.
  • We may edit or pause a page that doesn't follow these guidelines.
Questions

Before you start.

See a sample fundraiser page.

Does it cost anything?

No. Starting a fundraiser is free, and every gift goes to Sawyer's Wish.

Can I change my goal later?

Yes. Reply to your welcome email or contact us and we'll update it. Many people raise their goal once they pass it.

Can a group or company run one?

Yes. Pick "School or team" and we'll set up a team page with a leaderboard. Companies can also see corporate partnerships.

Do my supporters get tax receipts?

Yes. Every supporter gets a receipt from Sawyer's Wish by email right after they give.
