Running a campaign utilizing the Teams feature for peer-to-peer fundraising requires a significant investment of time and effort to:
- Formulate a strategy for how to best utilize Teams
- Identify and recruit Team leaders
- Gather the required materials to set up Team profiles
- Give each Team leader their personal page link
- Share materials and instructions
- Provide guidance and motivation
It is important to:
- Communicate a clear ask regarding what you want from your Team leaders.
- Provide your Team leaders with materials (talking points, emails, social media posts, their personal Team link, etc.) that they should share before and during the campaign, instruct them when and how to do so, and send them reminders that are motivating and inspiring.
Here are some Teams recruitment templates to help you get started:

Dear [Name],
[Greetings/Shalom!/Personal Intro…]
[ORG/We] is planning a fundraising campaign to support the purchase of a new center for our community. I would love it if you would take an active part in the campaign and help support our ongoing efforts to serve the community.
How can you help? Would you be willing to inspire others to join the campaign by being a campaign ambassador? Using our campaign’s Teams feature, you will be able to promote the campaign using your unique link, which will display your profile automatically and attributes the donation to your Team.
It’s an engaging and authentic way for you to support our community by respectfully encouraging your family, friends and colleagues to join the campaign in an engaging way.
Let me know if I can count on you to form a Team, and I’ll help you get started.
Sincerely,
