Simple & Easy Fundraising Ideas
Special Occasions
Our family and friends help us mark our special occasions and achievements in life, and oftentimes, they want to show how much they care with a gift. But instead of a new material item for you or your child for a birthday, wedding, graduation, baby shower, or anniversary, you can ask for a gift that keeps on giving: the gift of a charitable donation.
In Honour of a Loved One
When faced with life-altering events like illness or the loss of a loved one, many discover the remarkable impact of charitable organizations. Honouring someone’s memory and acknowledging the support they received, raising funds and awareness for a cause can bring a deep sense of fulfillment. It is also a beautiful way to celebrate and continue the legacy of a loved one with shared values.
Personal Challenges
Overcoming a challenge can demonstrate your passion for a cause – and passion can be contagious! Shave your head in solidarity with those who have lost their hair from an illness; push your physical limits by biking across the country or try to break a world record. If you’re not the outdoorsy type, try giving up your favourite dessert or going vegetarian for a significant period of time. There is truly no feat too big or small when it’s for a good cause.
Team Challenges
Fundraising with friends, family, and colleagues is an opportunity to create memories and have fun doing it – all for a good cause! Whether it’s bowling, a virtual game night, or a challenge to see who can walk the most steps in a week, gather your friends for some friendly competition where all participants pledge donations to your fundraiser!
Holiday Gifts
Holidays are an ideal time to launch a fundraiser, as they align with the spirit of giving and generosity that define almost all traditional, cultural, and religious holidays. Show support for your favourite charity by raising donations for them during the holiday season, when they need it most!
