Fundraising Tips

Set yourself a fundraising target and let people know about it. They may be more motivated to donate if they know it's helping achieve your goal.

Show you are committed to your goal by making a donation. This will encourage others to follow suit. People who donate to themselves are more likely to raise additional donations.

Why are you pushing for better mental health? Let your friends, family and colleagues know why you’re taking on the challenge and what it means to you, so they are inspired to donate.

Start a Team with your friends, family, colleagues, or gym buddies so you can spread the load and fundraise together.

Host an event with entertainment, raffles and/or food to take your fundraising to the next level. This is also an opportunity to recruit team members, start a mental health conversation and share your reason for participating.

Find out if your workplace is willing to donate the equivalent of the funds you raise, or make a one-off donation (both are tax-deductible). Lots of companies like to rally behind their employees and show their support by dollar matching.

Take advantage of our useful resources to help spread the word about your fundraiser. You'll find posters, social media tiles, display screens and more.

Thanking your supporters will make them feel good, and may encourage others to donate, too. All it takes is a simple shout-out or comment on your social media posts or in your group chats to encourage more people to donate.
