Use this blog to discuss fundraising opportunities or ideas / ask questions / organise something with others and let us know what’s happening.
To get started with donations, firstly, spend time coming up with a paragraph of something meaningful about trip and what you are fundraising for (happy to help you put something together, or you can work with someone else for ideas).
The best way to target people is to send them a personalised message, rather than simply posting your Everyday Hero link on Facebook. Facebook will get a bunch of Likes, but if it’s donations you want, send the link to individuals and ask them personally for a donation. The effort will return a lot more!! There is nothing stopping you promoting your personal Everyday Hero link on Facebook / Twitter though.
I’ll post the ideas we discuss at each campus’ meetings in the comments section in this post. Do the same to add you own when you think of them…
There is a Fundraising tab at the top of this page with all the info to get you started.
