Your CoMoGives Checklist

CoMoGives is underway! Use this checklist to stay focused on the most impactful actions you can take during the challenge and make the most of every giving opportunity.

✅ Share Your Organization's Page

Continue sharing your CoMoGives organization page throughout the campaign. Frequent, varied messaging helps keep your organization top of mind throughout the challenge.

*Your unique organization page link will look something like this: https://www.comogives.com/organization/[unique-slug-here]

✅ Tell Your Story & Rally Fundraisers

Keep donors engaged with updates, photos, and impact stories. Encourage your peer-to-peer fundraisers to share their own pages too - they’re a powerful way to reach more people!

Tip: Fundraisers can post updates and track progress from their dashboards, helping everyone feel connected to your campaign’s success.

✅ Track & Celebrate Progress

Celebrate milestones and track how close you are to unlocking funds through Challenge Grants. Sharing these moments can inspire others to give.

Tip: Keep an eye on the Overview tab in your organization dashboard to see real-time updates on your progress. You can also visit the CoMoGives Leaderboard page to check your standings for Challenge Grants.

Register for CoMoGives 2025

The first step to CoMoGives 2025 is registering your nonprofit to participate! Nonprofits are required to register each year. Nonprofit registration is open from June 1, 2025 - June 30, 2025. Visit the main CoMoGives page and click the 'Register' button to get started!

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

Peer-to-peer fundraising is a great way to mobilize your most passionate supporters. These supporters create their own fundraising page to share with their network to expand the reach of your organization and bring in new donors and gifts. Think of it this way:

  • We, the Community Foundation of Central Missouri (CFCM), promote the CoMoGives campaign to the community. 
  • You, the participating organization, promote your organization page to your contacts.
  • And your supporters, by hosting peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, promote your organization page to their peers (hence the name peer-to-peer).

As an organization administrator, your job is to steward your fundraisers and make the idea / process of peer-to-peer fundraising fun for your supporters. Set your fundraisers up for success by:

  • Starting early: Now is the time to start identifying your potential peer-to-peer fundraisers and developing an outreach strategy to ask for their support. 
  • Being informative: We encourage you to consider your organization’s goal for CoMoGives, and determine how much of that goal could be reasonably attained with the help of your peer-to-peer fundraisers. Make sure your peer-to-peer fundraisers know exactly what you’re expecting of them so they can help you reach your goals!
  • Making it easy: Provide your peer-to-peer fundraisers with the resources they need to be successful. 
    • You can start by creating a fundraising template which means your peer-to-peer fundraisers don’t have to start from scratch with their fundraising pages!
    • Be sure to share the Peer-to-Peer fundraising toolkit with your interested supporters! This toolkit provides them with a detailed walkthrough of the peer-to-peer fundraising feature on Mightycause including how to sign up, build, and share their fundraising page. 

Matching Grants

Matching gifts (or "matching grants" as the Mightycause platform refers to them) are a great tool that can be used to incentivize donors during your CoMoGives campaign. Please review the list of FAQs listed below for more information about how to secure matching grant funding, and how to create a matching grant on Mightycause. Be sure to follow the instructions below carefully, as they outline the specific steps needed to set up your matching grant in accordance with CoMoGives requirements so it will count toward the campaign.

Mightycause has a full library of support articles, video walkthroughs and tools to assist you as you get ready for your CoMoGives campaign.
