Fundraising Tips
- When planning a fundraiser, remember to consider what time and resources you have available.
- Use your strengths & talents. If you’re a great baker why not organise a Cake Sale or Coffee Morning? If you want to challenge yourself physically, why not get involved in a sponsored sporting event or challenge like a Walk, Cycle, Marathon or race?
- Do something you enjoy that will bring people together. Think about what would interest your family & friends – Bingo Night, Table Quiz, Race Night, or Fancy Dress Party can be good fun. Not only will you be raising funds, but raising awareness too!
- Remember to check the legalities before proceeding with your event. Does it require a Garda Permit, insurance, extra supervision etc.?
- Spread the word, tell your family, friends, and co-workers what you are doing and why. You will be surprised by how many people will want to support you.
- Please bear in mind all Government Guidelines in relation to Covid-19 when planning a fundraiser.
