General
Once you’ve signed up, the WWF will provide you with a profile that you can customise with your own words and photos, and send to potential donors in your personal network. These could include friends, relatives, work colleagues or neighbours.
They are free to decide whether, and if so, how much they wish to support you – or rather, the WWF projects.
Taking part in a WWF run is a memorable and wonderful experience. This is thanks to our popular announcer, the friendly panda mascot, the delicious refreshments during the run, and the unbeatable atmosphere.
After the run, every participant will receive a small token of appreciation and a certificate. The person who raises the most money and collects the most donations will receive an attractive prize. The class that collects the most donations will also win a school trip.

Promotional ideas
The best way to share your campaign is via the link, or using a QR code that takes people directly to your campaign (here’s a QR code generator you can use), or via the PDF flyer available on your campaign page. Social media platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, emails, posters, etc. are all suitable for sharing
Describe your campaign in a short, engaging and personal message. You should mention what you are raising funds for (e.g. We are raising funds for the WWF Run in St. Gallen on 5 September 2028, to support hedgehogs and their habitats).
Make sure you upload a good-quality image for which you hold the copyright or otherwise have the necessary rights.
Fundraising
Once the donation has been received, all donors will immediately receive a digital donation receipt. This also serves as a tax certificate.
Donors can make secure and straightforward payments via Twint or credit card.
In the case of round-up donations, the actual amounts will only be debited after the run. You will receive an email stating the actual amount to be paid, at which point you can proceed with the payment.
