Sharing information with someone from your local newspaper, and/or creating a website or social media page for providing information about the project, and more will help. You may also want to get out and talk to people in your community about the project that you have in mind so that you can get ideas and information from them and so that you can answer their questions and help them get excited about the project that you are working on.

Use Different Methods of Raising Funds

To maximize the funds that you are able to raise for your community project, you will want to look into different methods for raising the money. You may want to look into any grants or loans that might be available, and you'll probably want to make it easy for people to donate to the project if they want to.
