That is why we recommend gathering great images, think about how you want to explain your animal fundraiser, create a video of yourself with your animal(s) you are fundraising for (if possible). It doesn't have to take you days to prepare, but you do want to have a page that looks inviting and explains everything well. </span></span></p> <p><span style="color:#660066"><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>TIPS TO CONSIDER:</strong></span></span></p> <ul> <li><span style="color:#660066"><span style="font-size:16px">The average word count for successful crowdfunding campaigns is 300 to 500 words.
