Create Your Donation Page:
Begin by visiting the Charging Bear Crowdfunding Page on Givebutter.com and setting up your donation page. This is a straightforward process where you’ll be asked to provide details about your donation – you can choose to support the “Art for Nourishment” campaign. Make sure to fill in the amount and any message you’d like to share about why this cause matters to you. The button to do that looks like this:
Personalize Your Contribution:
Once you’ve chosen your donation amount, you have the option to leave a personal note or dedication. This adds a personal touch and can inspire others in your network to contribute.
Sharing via Social Media:
After completing your donation, you’ll be prompted to share your contribution on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. This is a key step in promoting the campaign. Use the provided share buttons for seamless posting.

Givebutter also provides a direct link to the campaign that you can copy. This link can be shared anywhere – in personal messages, emails, or even on your social media bio.
