10 Ways To Increase Your Fundraising

We know that fundraising can sometimes be tricky, and it can be difficult to know where to start, so we want to highlight 10 ways to boost your donation efforts for Cumbrian Challenge.

1. Gift Aid

Don’t forget to encourage everyone to claim Gift Aid on their donations, and if you’re eligible, make sure to claim it for your contributions as well. At no extra cost to anyone, this allows an additional 25p to be added to every pound donated. Every one of those pennies goes directly toward assisting veterans and their families who need our support to rebuild their lives.

2. Matched Funding

An increasing number of organisations are willing to match the funds you raise. The best part is that it won’t cost you or your supporters anything extra. Simply reach out to your employer or your family’s employer (sometimes, you don’t even need to work there!), review the terms and conditions, and watch as your hard-earned fundraising efforts are doubled. This not only boosts your position on the Cumbrian Challenge leaderboard but most importantly, increases your impact in supporting veterans and their families.

3. Personalise your Cumbrian Challenge donation page

When you sign up for Cumbrian Challenge, your fundraising page is automatically created for you. Enhance your fundraising efforts by sharing why you have chosen to take on the challenge in support of WWTW and those who served. Whether you have family members in the Armed Forces, have served yourself, or are simply looking to challenge yourself and raise money for a good cause, your story adds a personal touch that resonates with potential donors. You can also add regular updates to your donation page, helping to keep your supporters updated on the progress of your fundraising and thanking them for their kindness.

4. Set yourself a target

Establishing a fundraising target is a great way to rally your supporters and motivate them to help you reach your goal, no matter the amount, even as little as £20. Every penny raise goes towards supporting veterans and their families.
