The 'Alty For All' campaign "aims to attract large and small investment through donations that will provide part-ownership of the club".
The club added that the fundraising will help them continue their transition to full-time.
Co-chairman Bill Waterson said: "We have a long-term plan for sustainable growth, with ambitions of promotion to the Football League.
"To do that while significantly increasing our touchpoints with our local community we need to raise funds.
"Unlike many clubs that may look for investment to pay down existing debt, we are debt-free and therefore money raised can be directly used for investment in infrastructure, in our community engagement and the squad itself.
"The Alty for All campaign aims to give our fans a chance to own part of their club, or even for fans of football to own a part of one of the most historic non-league clubs in the country and help take us to the next stage of our history."
