**Peer-to-Peer Fundraising** is a fundraising strategy that uses the networks of your existing supports to raise money on your behalf. This is a great choice for fundraising because it is a low-cost and low-effort way to raise funds. It relies on your supporters' existing relationships and leverages them to help spread the word about your cause.
