Fundraising at work


The simplest way you can get your company to support you is to enquire about their matched giving policy.

Most companies are part of a scheme where they will match your fundraising total. e.g You raise £200, they donate an additional £200.
It is definitely worth approaching them to see if they will help.

Get your colleagues and managers involved in the fun

Arrow Organise a dress down day with everyone paying £2.
Arrow Set up a "shooting range" where everyone can pay to throw water balloons at volunteers in a designated area. How about 50p a balloon?.
Arrow Ask colleagues to cycle or run to work and donate the money saved on transport.
Arrow Get willing colleagues and managers to offer their skills
eg boss makes tea all day, free massages, cake sale.
Arrow Be sponsored to take the stairs all day instead of the lift. Maybe a colleague will suffer with you.

You may need to get permission from your relevant manager for some of the above.
