Wiki Wiki What? - Meet the AFS Fundraising Wiki

  • Access - Explore creative ways to help raise your tuition whenever you want, 24/7
  • Create - Add to the growing list of new fundraising ideas you've attempted
  • Comment - Be able to evaluate each idea. "The Car Wash idea rocked...I made $500 last week!"
  • Converse - Share your thoughts and ideas with other AFSers, and join together to make your exchange dreams a reality.
Why a "wiki" you ask? A wiki acts as an interactive compilation of wisdom, with the ability to add and edit information regarding a certain topic. This is awesome for fundraising because some ideas are better than others, and there are many we haven't thought about yet. That's where you come in.

Getting Started:
  1. If you haven't already, take a few minutes to create an account.
  2. Join the AFS Fundraising Wiki
  3. Navigate with the drop-down menu on the left -
  • Clicking on "Fundraising Ideas" will bring you a long list of fundraising ideas.
  • To read about a specific fundraiser, either:
    1. Locate it in the drop-down menu under "Fundraising Ideas" or
    2. Click on "Fundraising Ideas", and find it in the list on this page.
    To comment on an existing fundraiser (please do often!):
    1. Scroll to the bottom of each fundraising page,
    2. Start a new thread
    3. Make and post your comment in the thread
    4. You can also keep the conversation going by responding to a previous thread.
    To Add a new Fundraiser:
    1. Click "fundraising ideas" in the menu on the top left (Don't forget this step)

    7. If you are nervous about adding it on your own, simply email it to ntriolo@afs.org and we will gladly add it for you!
    Still don't get it? If you need further assistance and the this wiki is not answering all of your concerns, email ntriolo@afs.org or check out the available online tools at the bottom of each page.
