Looking for some easy fundraising ideas? Whether you're just starting your fundraising journey or need a boost to get over the line, we’ve got you covered.
Here are 10 quick and easy ways to level-up your fundraising tally.
Like shaving, cutting or colouring your hair, reaching your World’s Greatest Shave fundraising goal is bloody beautiful.
There are plenty of fun and creative ways to raise funds for Australians facing blood cancer – and we’ve put together our picks of the bunch. Remember, every donation you receive or make yourself – big or small – will make a huge difference.
1. Share your fundraising page far and wide!
Think Facebook, Instagram, email, and online community groups. Head to our resources page and download custom social tiles, email signatures and story templates for you to share . You may feel a little shy at first, but remember, you're doing an incredible thing – so shout it loud and proud, and often. The more times you share your page on your socials and via email, the more donations you're likely to get.
2. Remind people why you’re fundraising
People are more likely to donate when they’re reminded of what it will go towards. Every dollar you raise will fuel real, tangible change in the lives of blood cancer patients and their families. Keep an eye out on the World's Greatest Shave socials for real life examples of families supported by the Leukaemia Foundation – these are perfect to reshare with your family and friends.
3. Kick-start your fundraising with a self-donation
Be your own biggest fan. Donating to yourself is a great way to kick-start your fundraising, and set an example for others to follow. It also gives people an amount to match.
4. Encourage any and every donation amount – big or small
Remind others that regardless of the amount, every donation matters and helps the Leukaemia Foundation support Australians living with blood cancer today, while investing in a better tomorrow.
5. Put up a fundraising poster
Log in to your fundraising dashboard to download your personal QR code poster. Print it off and put it up in a highly visible place, so people can scan it and donate on the spot.
6. Sell your unused items
Hold a garage sale or sell your pre-loved goodies online to raise extra funds. For some inspiration, check out how Audrey Wood held a garage sale to help her reach an incredible fundraising tally of over $10,000!
7. Lean on your friends
Don’t be afraid to ask your friends for support - that's what friends are for! They can help by spreading the word and sharing your fundraising page with their network via social media or email.
8. Collect loose change
Ask people at home, work, school, and in your social groups to donate any coins they have. It all adds up to meaningful change.
9. Remind people on the day
Inspire last-minute donations by sharing a photo or video of you on your big day. You can go viral on social media by live-streaming your event, or share the best moments online after the event to attract even more donors.
10. Name your price or auction off your new 'do'
Take your fundraising for the World's Greatest Shave to the next level by setting clear milestones. Start by pledging to colour your hair for cancer as a starting point. If you reach the next milestone, commit to cutting your hair for cancer. And if you reach your ultimate fundraising goal, you can pledge to go all the way and shave your head for cancer. To boost donations even further, turn it into a fun auction with the highest bidder getting to choose the colour or style of your new 'do!
