Have you never fundraised before? You’re not alone. Below are our quick, easy, and simple tips to get the ball rolling with your challenge fundraising.
First things first: Set up your fundraising page
The quicker you set up your JustGiving page for your challenge, the quicker (and easier) it will be to start raking in the donations! Top tip: Make sure to personalise your page to make it eye-catching,
whether that’s coming up with a funny title, or adding a personal touch to the page bio.
Set up your easyfundraising account
Like the fundraising page, the quicker you set up your easyfundraising account, the better, as you will have more time to make the most of the donations. Top tip: Add easyfundraising’s ‘Donation Reminder’ extension on your browser (on your computer, laptop, AND phone), as it will automatically
remind you about any potential donations for your challenge!
Tell your friends and family about your fundraising
How can you fundraise without spreading the word to your nearest and dearest? This is the easiest way to get your initial donations in, and to ease your way into the challenge. Top tip: Try and get your friends and family to share it to their groups, so that you are reaching out to more people.
Post about your challenge all over social media
It goes without saying, but if you have a social media platform, you’re bound to post about this challenge! Make sure that you are linking your JustGiving page to your social media platforms and summarising the challenge, the charity, and why you have signed up. You can post it anywhere – Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitch etc! Top tip: Making the post personal to you, whether that’s due to the charity you’ll be supporting or the challenge itself, will help donors in understanding why you are doing this, making them more likely to donate.
Start thinking about fundraising ideas or events you could do throughout the year
As much as some people can get a hefty amount of their fundraising completed through friends and family donations alone, we recommend having one or two fundraising events planned to ensure you will reach your target in the required time. Top tip: Plan out your event(s) early with plenty of time, so that it will be easier to manage on top of your other commitments but will still be successful!
Be engaged!
Throughout the year, you will be receiving updates from the Endeavours Adventures team, fundraising opportunities by your charity, and more! Please ensure that you are keeping up to date with this and try to be proactive with boosting donations. Top tip: You won’t be the only person who has never fundraised before, so why not reach out to another participant on your challenge and keep
each other informed of any events and opportunities to boost your fundraisers?
