Best Buddies is excited to announce the launch of our new DIY fundraising website: bestbuddies.org/fundraise.

This user-friendly platform empowers supporters across the country to champion inclusion by easily creating personalized online fundraising pages. Whether honoring a birthday, celebrating a special occasion, paying tribute to a loved one, or fundraising “just because,” participants can now turn life’s special moments and milestones into meaningful impact for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

The new DIY fundraising site streamlines the process, offering customizable templates, guidance, and a secure giving experience. At Best Buddies, our goal is to make it easy for everyone to support our mission in their own unique way. This platform gives our supporters the tools to share their stories and mobilize their communities, friends, and families in support of inclusion.

Here’s how it works: Individuals can visit bestbuddies.org/fundraise to set up a personal fundraising page in just minutes. The site supports fundraisers for birthdays, wedding celebrations, anniversary tributes, memorial pages, athletic challenges, or any creative campaign supporters envision. Each page can be customized with photos, personal messages, and fundraising goals, and is easily shareable across social media and email.

Funds raised directly benefit Best Buddies’ transformative programs, including opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, inclusive living, and family support for people with IDD worldwide.

With the launch of this new platform, Best Buddies is helping bring the power of community-driven philanthropy to the forefront—ensuring everyone has the chance to create opportunities for inclusion, one fundraiser at a time.
