Here are the top 10 fundraising tips to help you raise a mountain of money for BC Children’s Hospital!
1. Ask your corporate contacts and industry partners for their support. Approach your company for a corporate match – Whistler Water will match corporate donations of $2000 or more.
2. Encourage friends, and everyone you know (your hairdresser, your dog groomer) to support you.
3. Invite your Facebook friends to join Grind For Kids and make a donation.
4. Customize your online fundraising page – Add your personal story of why you’re fundraising for BC Children’s Hospital and personalize it with a picture of yourself.
5. Set up a “challenge” competition — challenge your friends or fellow employees or partner company to a friendly competition to see who can raise the most funds through Grind for Kids. Add a friendly wager like the losing team buys lunch.
6. Remind supporters they can donate via credit card – it’s quick, easy and often results in higher amounts.
7. Throw a fundraising event, hold a raffle, or create a month-long office campaign. Be creative!
8. Download your pledge form here and take it everywhere you go.
9. Make a donation yourself – set the pace for the rest of your donors!
10. Remind people that tax receipts are automatically issued for gifts of $20 or more.
