STUCK FOR IDEAS... THEME YOUR FUNDRAISING AROUND SPECIAL DATES.
Online fundraisers raise loads more, it’s the easiest way to fundraise and only takes minutes to set up.
Justgiving is the most popular platform but you can also use everyday hero and virgin money giving.Handy tips to get the donations rolling in:
1. PERSONALISE YOUR PAGE.
4. PAYDAY PESTERING.
2. PROMOTE YOURSELF.
5. SET THE BAR HIGH.
3. SET TARGETS.
6. KEEP GOING!
Tell a story: Why this challenge? Why CALM? Use plenty of photos and get your personality across.
When pay day comes around it’s the perfect time to remind friends to donate, they’ve got no excuse!
Use Facebook, Twitter, anything you can to tell everyone about your challenge. Share photos, training logs and videos to keep it interesting.
Ask close friends and family to donate generously first as others may then match their generosity.
Motivate your friends around key milestones with messages like, ‘Who’s going to help me hit my £500 mark by the end of the day?’
Even after your event you can keep asking for sponsorship. Anyone who hasn’t donated already will be inspired once they’ve seen your amazing achievement.
