Peer-to-peer fundraising is a multi-tiered approach to crowdfunding. This means individuals create personal fundraising pages to support the Friends of Conservatory's primary GiveBig fundraiser. Peer 2 Peer Fundraising is a great way to support the conservatory by mobilizing your online community of plant lovers. Each peer creates a fundraising page that is nestled below the Conservatory's main GiveBig profile and acts as a root system that raises support from different channels. Below you will find a guide to making a profile. All Peer 2 Peer fundraising leaders will receive a Conservatory tote bag filled with goodies and 4 guest passes to enjoy once we re-open. 

🌱Thank you so much for becoming a peer to peer fundraiser!
