You can create your own fundraising page using VirginMoneyGiving. It’s very straightforward, you just need to create an account, provide some details about yourself and search for Edo Development Aid when you are creating your page.
Share it with your family, friends, colleagues and local community, so that they can start donating.
It helps to include photos and information about EDA, why the charity is important to you and why you would appreciate it if people support you.
Here are a few tips for how to make sure your fundraising page is a success:
Spread the word!
Tell people about it and post it on your social media pages.
Fundraising Targets
Pages with targets receive 40% more donations. Let people know what your fundraising goal is so that they can help you towards reaching it.
Regular updates
If you’re training for an event perhaps, let people know how it’s going – it’s a good way to build a sense of community too.
£1 for a £1
Match funding is a great way to double the money raised, you can find out if this is an initiative that your workplace offers to match the funds that you’ve raised. You could also add the fundraising page link to your email signature at work.
Special Occasions
Special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas are great opportunities to ask people to support you, so don’t miss out!
