Fundraising on YouTube

Starting a YouTube fundraiser is an easy and meaningful way to support the Village. You can start a fundraiser at any time or to mark a special occasion like your birthday, or to support ASYV at year-end. Follow the steps below to start your fundraiser.

Step 1: Log in to YouTube Studio

Select “Earn,” then select “Giving” from the left menu. Click “Get started,” then “Create a fundraiser.” Select the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village as the nonprofit recipient. Set a target fundraising goal, a name for your fundraiser, and why you’re choosing to raise money for ASYV. Add videos or scheduled livestreams that will feature the donate button. Select “Publish.”

Step 2: Spread the Word

Share your videos or livestreams on social media and let people know they can support using the donate button on the video page.

Step 3: Thank your supporters for donating

Make sure to show your supporters some love with a thank you note, email, or social that tags them. Thanking supporters is one of the most important parts!
