Creating an online fundraising page is simple, free and secure. Choose platforms like JustGiving or Wonderful to set up your page, where all donations will automatically reach CAFOD.
Think of your page as a personal fundraising blog. The more unique and engaging it is, the more likely people are to donate.
Make your fundraising page stand out by adding a personal touch. Include a photo of yourself, as pages with pictures can see a 14% increase in donations.
Explain why you're fundraising for CAFOD - personal stories can boost your fundraising by up to 65%!
Kick things off by donating first. It's a great way to show commitment to your fundraising and can inspire others to give too.
Aim high and keep the momentum going by setting an inspiring goal! A bold target not only keeps you motivated but also brings your friends, family and parish on board.
Dive into our World Gifts and see how your fundraising can create real change. Choose a goal that gets everyone excited and ready to make a difference!
Promote your fundraising page across all your social media, such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. Ask your friends and family to share it too, as well as asking your parish to publish your fundraising page on their website and social media.
Word of mouth is still an effective way to promote your fundraising. Use a sponsorship form to collect cash donations.
You can also generate a QR code for your fundraising page.
Just add '/qrcode' to the end of your URL and print it on posters to display at your parish or workplace.
Reach out to potential donors with personal messages. These are much more effective than generic, non-personalised messages. Let them know why their support is crucial and how it makes a difference.
After the donations roll in, make sure to say thank you to everyone who supported you. A little gratitude goes a long way and keeps your supporters in the loop about your progress.
Regularly update your page with news, photos and updates on your progress. Keeping your page up-to-date helps to encourage more donations.
