You’ve registered your fundraiser, so what now?
It’s now time to get the word out - invite people to attend your event, join in or simply support you by donating.
1. Log into your fundraising dashboard.
Update your personal page so that others know what you’re doing and why you’re raising funds. Check out our free resources for guidance, including our fundraising guide, posters and social tiles.
2. Show you're serious by making the first donation.
If you make a donation to your page it will encourage friends and family to also support your efforts.
3. Promote within your networks.
Promoting both online and in person is important. Talk to people about what you are doing to get them on board with the cause. Be proud to be a member of the Fundraising Force!
4. Limit your costs.
Asking for support for venues, prizes or services will help you keep your event costs low. You’ll be amazed at how much people and business are willing to help if you ask.
5. Bank your fundraising money as you go and watch your impact grow.
Bank each donation as it comes in and use the total to inspire others to donate. Ie, “We’ve hit 50% of our goal – help us reach 100%”. Congratulations! Your fundraiser is complete.
Firstly, we think you are amazing! Thank you for raising funds for us. To wrap up your fundraiser, remember to:
