How to add prizes to incentivize participants on your campaign.

Enabling peer-to-peer fundraising on your campaign is an excellent way to get others to help you raise funds. You can also incentivize fundraising success among those helping you by adding prizes for participants or teams that raise the most the funds. Whether it’s a pizza party for the class that raises the most, an iPad for the most successful individual, or $50 Amazon gift cards for the top 3 participants, adding prizes is a great way to motivate people to share your campaign.
