Peer-to-peer fundraising gives your nonprofit an incredible boost in its fundraising efforts as well as its outreach. Peer-to-peer fundraising is great for smaller nonprofits because it allows your donors to spread your cause to people who trust them and will help you recruit loyal donors that answer to your call.
