How to promote your fundraiser

Your promo checklist

Not sure how to promote your fundraiser? Start by checking off some of these ideas and you’re well on your way!

  1. Networking 

Reach out to those you know for a helping hand. Think about family, friends, colleagues, local businesses, groups and/or clubs that you are a part of. You can involve your local media outlets to spread the word about what you are doing and why.

  1. A story worth telling 

Whoever you’re talking to, make sure you include a good story about why you are fundraising when you approach them for support.

  1. Be creative 

It’s important to get people’s attention. Use promotional strategies to stand out from the crowd, such as competitions to win tickets, taking out an advert in your local paper and contacting community groups that are relevant to your event. These could be sports groups, parental groups and/or craft clubs.

  1. Social media can be a powerful thing

Keep your supporters posted about your progress, from the time you start preparing your fundraiser to the day you hand in your donations. You can use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other platforms to showcase your hard work and help spread the word about your fundraiser and how it helps support veterans in crisis.

Don’t forget to tell us all about it!

We love to hear what you’re up to, so please send us your photos and fundraising stories to funds1@veterans-aid.net and we might even ask you to feature them on our Facebook page or in our newsletter.
