RAISE FUNDS WITH AVI USA
EXPLORE OUR FUNDRAISING PLATFORM
Try out our platform with the P2P Demo below, watch our videos and then start raising funds directly for your favorite project.
Peer-to-peer fundraising lets you ask your own circle to support an Auroville project you care about. You set up a page, share it with friends and family, and watch the support come in.
Every AVI USA project partner now has its own START A FUNDRAISER link, listed with the project on its activity area page
One of the biggest elements of fundraising is the personal connection — people give when they hear directly from someone they trust about why a project matters.
Start from Your Project’s Page
Every AVI USA project partner now has its own Start a Fundraiser link on the project tab on each Activity Area page. Find your project in its activity area and start right from its listing.

Reasons To Give
WHAT PEOPLE FUNDRAISE FOR
A P2P fundraiser turns something you’re already doing into support for AVI USA Project Partners.
TRY IT FIRST
The demo is a test portal. Sign up and you’ll get an email with access to your own tracking page and a shareable donation link, so you can see exactly what your friends would see.
Please don’t start a real fundraiser from the demo. Experiment freely and email a few friends — just don’t collect donations through it.

SEE IT IN ACTION
Two short videos — how EcoFemme set up a fundraiser for
girls in India, and a walkthrough of the platform itself.

For Partners and Projects:
HOSTING P2P FOR YOUR PROJECT
If you run an Auroville project, P2P lets your supporters raise money on your behalf.
Three things to know.
Your project must be approved
Only vetted AVI USA partner projects can host P2P fundraisers. Not a partner yet? Fill out the Partner Application Form.
A website helps, but isn’t required
P2P buttons install on most websites and make promotion easier. If you don’t have one, email us and we’ll work out an alternative.
How the platform works
It integrates with your site or runs through aviusa.org. Each fundraiser gets their own portal to personalize, share, and track donations.
Get Started
TELL US WHICH PROJECT
Browse our Partners in Activity Areas to find their fundraiser link.
If you don’t see a link, email us and we’ll set up a Peer to Peer fundraiser for your favorite AVI USA project.
