1.Set yourself a fundraising goal:  

Set yourself an ambitious but achievable fundraising goal. This will help your supporters know what you are trying to accomplish and inspire them to help you achieve it!  

2. Kick start your fundraising:  

Consider making the first donation or ask your closet friends and family to donate before sending your page around. People tend to match the donations that are already on your page, so the more generous the better.  

3. Spread the word

Don’t be afraid to reach out to those around you – friends, family, colleagues, even your local community groups. The more people who know about your fundraiser, the more donations you are likely to receive. Use these simple pre-written emails to ask for donations, as a gentle reminder of your fundraiser or to thank people for helping you get one step closer to your goal.  

4. Get Social

Update your Facebook profile picture or post to Instagram using one of our social pics to tell everyone about your fundraiser.  Share with your network what you are doing, what you’re hoping to achieve and why supporting the Heart Foundation is important to you. It can be as easy as adding a link to your email signature.
