While read-a-thons are a great fundraising idea for nonprofits of all kinds, they’re the perfect fundraiser for schools, libraries, and education nonprofit organizations.

While network fundraising is similar to peer-to-peer fundraising in that you’re recruiting people to fundraise on your behalf, typically a network fundraiser won’t have a large-scale event like a 5K, fun run, or any type of “A-Thon” fundraiser.
