Fundraising Tips
Set a fundraising target — Having a clear goal gives people something to rally behind and can encourage them to help you reach it.
Make the first donation yourself — It gets your page started and can help set the tone for other donations.
Make your page personal — Add a photo and explain why you’re fundraising. People are more likely to donate when they understand your reason.
Share your page more than once — Don’t be afraid to post reminders. Share updates before, during and after your fundraiser.
Ask people directly — A personal WhatsApp, text or email can often work better than relying on social media alone.
Give regular updates — Share training progress, preparations, photos or milestones to keep people involved.
Get others involved — Ask friends, family or colleagues to take part, share your fundraiser or help organise the event.
Thank your supporters — A quick thank-you goes a long way and makes people feel part of what you’re doing.
Thank your supporters — A quick thank-you goes a long way and makes people feel part of what you’re doing.
Keep going after the event — Leave your fundraising page open for a little while and share one final update, as donations often continue afterwards.
