Virtual events are all the rage in the charity sector, but how can you make your stand out? Charity Digital have taken a look at ten of the best virtual event ideas. With lockdown extended, virtual fundraising events and campaigns need to temporarily replace in real life ones. While digital fundraisers aligned with NHS Together Charities have raised over £100 million online, smaller charities also have opportunities to reach out and engage.
Here are ten of some of the most innovative digital fundraising events and campaign ideas.
1. Games Tournament
Great for charities already involved with video, live streaming gaming tournaments can be powerful fundraisers.
2. Online auctions
Tapping into those retail enthusiasts missing out on shopping, online auctions can raise significant funds for charities.
3. Indoor challenges and events
Safe, indoor challenges leave room for supporters and donors to design their own fundraising events. Families can set an indoor challenge, and raise money for that activity.
4. Match fundraising
Time-limited flash fundraising events add excitement to digital fundraising.
5. Peer-to-peer
Empowering fundraisers with their own donation pages, peer-to-peer fundraising efforts work well with large-scale events.
6. Virtual sporting events
Swapping outdoor for indoor events.
7. Virtual cooking lessons
Making the best use of the time spent online, some charities have strategically made use of existing operations.
8. Viral campaign
On every charity digital leader’s wish list, viral campaigns rally significant funding and increase brand awareness.
9. Quizzes and trivia nights
Helping to replace pub quiz nights, online quizzes can raise money through ticketing while keeping supporters engaged.
10. Digital Races
