Be a force for change and support David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) by fundraising and inspiring others to help protect wildlife. Here are some ideas to help you create your very own a fundraising challenge.
“Fundraising has given me the opportunity to engage with like-minded people and it has been fun meeting so many new enthusiasts.” – Gail K (DSWF Fundraiser)
Bring together friends, family, and colleagues for a coffee morning, bake sale, or dinner party in support of DSWF.
Set a theme, bake your own goodies, ask people to bring something along – or ask local businesses to donate goods to your event, all for a good cause.
Charge admission or a suggested donation to join the event or host a prize draw or raffle at the event to raise additional funds.
Activities such as trivia, game nights, karaoke, movie nights, jumble sale, wine tasing, cheese tasting, and bingo are great fun ways to get people excited about fundraising.
Alternatively set up a personal challenge that tests your limts and engages your family and friends watching along. Ideas include challenging yourself to complete a certain number of steps a month, pushs up a day or even taking on a skydive or abseil!
Make the most of your talents and hobbies to raise funds for DSWF. Whether you draw, paint, sculpt or any other creative endeavour why not use your skills to make a difference.
Host a small art exhibition, painting class or creative workshop and invite your local community, friends and family to come along get involved. Or host an online art raffle or prize draw competition and raise funds online using JustGiving.
Are your children the next generation of wildlife heroes? Get them involved in fundraising so they can do their part to help wildlife in need. Whether it’s hosting an egg and spoon race, bake sale, garage sale, selling homemade lemonade, or organising a non-uniform day at their local school, there are so many ways they can get involved in the fun!
We also offer free school talks, so if you’re organising a school fundraiser, why not book us to come along and tell you all about the amazing work we do.
