Tips to raise money for charity

When taking part to a sporting event many people would like to take the opportunity to raise money for charity but they haven’t got a clue where to start. This is a shame because with a little bit of method, you could easily raise a decent amount.

So here are a few tips to help you with your next fund raising exercise.

Create a fundraising page online. There are a few sites on the Internet that allow you to create a fundraising page where colleagues, friends and family can support you by making a donation. It also gives you the possibility to select the charities you would like to support.

Spread the word. It is important that you let as many people as possible know that you are raising money for charity. Use your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn accounts to promote your fundraising page and contact all the members of your network. Don’t forget to ask them to help you spread the word.

Be creative. Create opportunities to raise money. You could for instance organise a charity dinner with your friends or a charity car wash. Raising money in groups can also be a good idea.

Ask around you. Seek advice among the people you know as they may have raised money for charity before and may have tips of their own they can share with you.
