EVENTS

Your group can host an event to raise money for our shelter.  Art show, car wash, spelling bee, brat stand... the possibilities are endless!  Every little bit helps and each dollar goes directly towards our shelter.

 Celebrate by opening your heart to giving.  Instead of receiving one more coffee mug, crazy tie, or the ugly sweater that hangs in the closet, we invite you to have friends and family donate in your honor.   

 Follow these easy steps to set up automatic donations to us. 

1. In the upper right corner of your Facebook page there’s a white triangle. If you click on it a drop-down menu appears and about halfway down see “Create Fundraiser.” Click on that and a popup window appears. 
2. In the window you’ll be given three choices. Click on the Non Profit tab and in the next window type BARABOO AREA HOMELESS SHELTER  in the search bar. A tab for Baraboo Area Homeless Shelter will appear below. Click on it. 
3. In the next screen, you’ll enter your goal. This is completely up to you. Then put the end date of the fundraiser. Facebook defaults to two weeks, but again this is up to you. Hit the next button. 
4. Name your fundraiser and write a brief description. You can use the copy that is already in place, or you can write your own more personal message. Generally a personal message will have more impact. 
5. On the final screen you can choose an image from the stock images they have or you can upload your own. 
6. Finally, hit the create button and you’re done. As people donate to your fundraiser, Facebook will send you alerts to let you know. Make sure to thank them for their contributions - thank yous are just as important as the donation itself.

Over the years, Baraboo Area Homeless Shelter has helped hundreds of people get back on their feet and rebuild their lives. Our success stories are a testament to the power of community and the impact we can have when we work together.
