Do It Your Way: Fundraise for Survivors
DonateStart your own fundraiser
Bring what you love.
Build hope.
Turn a birthday, race, dinner, performance, or neighborhood idea into meaningful support for survivors across Long Island.
Every contribution matters
Make it personal.
Make it powerful.
Your fundraiser helps sustain crisis response, counseling, legal advocacy, SAFE services, anti-trafficking support, housing assistance, and our community food pantry. You choose the idea; we’ll help you turn it into impact.
Choose your starting point
Fundraise in a way
that feels like you.
Start with one of these ready-made ideas, or bring us something completely new. There is no single right way to show up.
Donate your birthday
Ask for donations instead of gifts. Choose a meaningful goal, share why this work matters to you, and celebrate with impact.

Four steps from
idea to impact.
You don’t need fundraising experience. Start with something that fits your life, then invite your community into the story.
Choose your idea.
Pick a fundraiser that feels natural, joyful, and manageable.
Create your page.
Set a goal, add your story and photos, and personalize your link.
Spread the word.
Share by text, email, and social media. Small gifts add up.
Celebrate the impact.
Thank your community and show them what their support makes possible.
What your community makes possible
One idea can open

Have something else in mind?
Your idea belongs
in this work.

Your DIY fundraiser helps power crisis response, counseling, legal advocacy, the SAFE Program, anti‑trafficking services, and our community food pantry.
Ask for donations instead of gifts. Set your age (or any number!) as your goal, share why ECLI‑VIBES matters to you, and celebrate with impact.
Run for survivors. Pick a race, set a fundraising goal, and ask friends to sponsor each mile as you cross the finish line with purpose.
