Below are some things to consider when developing your fundraising strategy.
Making your appeal for donations
When you begin to think about fundraising methods for your organisation you need to consider why people give to charity. People give because of an emotional connection. You therefore need to make your appeal for donations personal by communicating what you do, why you need the money and how you spend your money. Ask friends and family, share your page, say thank you and ask for GIFT AID worth an extra 25p per £1.
