Work out what type of fundraising activity you would like to organise

Try to think of something fun that suits your lifestyle and will appeal to your friends, family or work colleagues.

Get in touch with our Community team to discuss your event and complete a Registration form - available from our Community team. We can then support you with advice regarding your event, provide a support letter and fundraising materials (sponsor cards, posters, balloons, Logo etc).

Start fundraising

1. Set a fundraising target for your group, and work out how much it is going to cost to organise. Don’t be afraid to ask for venues, prizes and services to be donated. You may be surprised how generous your local businesses are!
2. Set up an online fundraising page on our fundraising hub here.
3. Arrange any necessary permits or insurance to make sure everyone is covered.
4. Publicise and promote your fundraising activities. We can prepare posters or give you templates for flyers, posters and press releases that you can easily photocopy or print yourself. Don’t forget to add Children's Health Foundation Crumlin to your social network so we can help promote your event on Facebook and Twitter.
5. Assess any potential risks that may hamper your fundraising activity and create a ‘plan b’ as to what you will do if these risks turn into reality

Go for it!

You're all set now, and when you’re done, send in your funds and we’ll put your hard earned funds to work straight away! Please use your Children's Health Foundation Crumlin ID number (on your supporter letter) when sending in funds.

Finally

Don’t forget to thank everyone involved, those who took part, your organising committee, and any businesses or people who donated prizes, supplies or venues. If you like, we can help you with letter templates and certificates for your helpers. It’s part of our way of thanking YOU for putting in all the hard work to help sick children.
