If you're struggling to reach your fundraising goal or need some help then have a look at our fundraising tips below. 

Remember every dollar you raise counts, and as a Charity Champion we know you love making an impact! 

• Have a Plan: Think about your goal and ask yourself about the approach you need to take to reach it. How will you get the message out there? What's your target? How far away are you from the goal? What tools will help you reach it? Once you plan an approach, hitting your target will be a breeze!
• Use Social Media: Social media platforms are a great way to reach out to more people and share engaging content. Use the resources we have pre-made for you here.
• Make it Personal: People are moved by personal stories so-share why you're taking the challenge and why they should care.
• Spread your message: Get in touch with friends, family and colleagues for support! You can encourage them to donate and get the word out too.
• Show gratitude: Saying THANK YOU is simple yet powerful. Make sure you show how much you appreciate the support and how it will make a difference. This is easy to do through your Fundraising Dashboard.
