Step 4

Get sponsors

Start asking for sponsorship as early as possible.

Ask everyone you know to sponsor you: friends, club members, colleagues, clients, customers, other stores or departments and suppliers.

Collect sponsorship

Cash and cheques

  • Asking face-to-face is very successful
  • We’ll provide you with an official book of receipts to give to sponsors who give you cash or cheque
  • We’ll also give you a bank deposit slip so you can take your fundraising to the bank.
  • Ask your business to consider dollar-matching the amount raised by staff
  • It’s best to ask people to give you their money straight away, as it’s harder to ask for the money afterwards.
  • If you need to keep track of pledges ask for a pledge form by calling 1800 500 088 or download one here.
  • Keep a record of who has each receipt book so that it’s easier to get them back after the event. You can download a ‘receipt book tracking sheet’ here
  • Call 1800 500 088 if you need more receipts or extra bank deposit slips

It’s even easier online

  • Send emails from your Fundraising Page – sign in and click Get Sponsors.
  • The email contains a link directly to your page, so people can sponsor you with the credit card – they get an email receipt straight away – easy!
  • Sponsors can also search for you or your team from the home page of this website – search now
