Fundraise for us
Fundraising plays a vital role in enabling us to support programs that make a positive impact on the community. In addition to funding vital programs, your support helps:
Raise awareness: Every dollar raised also helps spread awareness about the cause and encourages others to get involved.
Empower those in need: By fundraising for us, you help give a voice to those who may not otherwise be heard and empower them with the tools and resources they need to thrive.
Create a lasting impact: Together, we can work toward long-term solutions that change lives and communities for generations to come.
Fundraising Ideas: Get Creative and Make a Difference!
There are countless ways to raise funds and show your support for Women For Change. Here are some ideas to inspire you:
1. Host an Event
Host an informal fundraising event like a lunch or afternoon tea where guests can enjoy good food and conversation while supporting a great cause. It provides a low-pressure environment for building connections and encouraging donations through ticket sales or contributions.
2. Organize a Sponsored Challenge
Challenge yourself, your friends, or colleagues to complete a physical or creative task to raise funds. Whether it’s a marathon, a bike ride, a talent show, or a personal goal like a “100-mile challenge,” people will be eager to support your efforts.
3. Set Up a Crowdfunding Campaign
Use online platforms like GoFundMe, JustGiving, or Facebook Fundraisers to easily set up a campaign and share it with your network. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a wedding, or another milestone, a personal campaign can inspire your friends and family to donate.
4. Hold a Bake Sale or Food Drive
Who doesn’t love a delicious treat? Hold a bake sale, food stall, or even a virtual cooking class to raise funds while having fun with friends and family.
5. Take Part in a Workplace Fundraising Challenge
Engage your colleagues by organizing a fundraising challenge in the workplace. Consider a dress-down day, a silent auction, or a "give-up" challenge where people pledge to give up something for a week and donate the money they would have spent.
