Top Tips for Fundraising
Thank you for choosing to fundraise for Globalteer! We can only keep supporting our communities and animals with the support of our generous donors and fundraisers, like you.
Whether you are looking to fundraise for your volunteer placement or support your favourite Globalteer initiative, it can be difficult to know where to start. But don't worry, we've got some fundraising tips to help!
Organising Your Fundraiser
Getting your fundraising efforts off the ground may seem like a daunting task, but here are six simple steps which will help get you started and ensure your success!
1. Decide on a fundraising activity or event
Work out what you want to do to get the donations flowing. It might be an individual activity, participation in an organised sporting event or a community event like a coffee morning. Remember, the simplest ideas are often the best!
2. Set up your fundraising page
If you are volunteering or interning with us, we will set up a fundraising page for you on our website. If you are a general fundraiser, we can do this for you too, or you can use any fundraising platform. See our Fundraising Guide below, for details.
3. Share, share, share!
Your fundraising won’t be very successful if no one knows about it! Share details of your event/activity (and the link to your fundraising page) with everyone you know, and even your local community.
4. Get organised
Make sure you have everything you need, such as sponsorship forms, food, the location and permits (if necessary). The bigger your event, the more planning and organisation it will need.
5. On the day
Good organisation should mean that the day is pretty relaxed: you will just need to run your 5km, sell tea and cake or host your dinner party. Don’t forget to enjoy yourself!
6. The "Thank You!"
Share your success with everyone who supported you, let them know how much you raised and of course, say a great big THANK YOU! Don't forget to follow up with your supporters after the event, to show them the impact their donations made.
