How can I increase my school's fundraising income?

There are many ways to raise money for schools including traditional methods such as bake stalls, fete, tuck shops and chocolate fundraisers.One way to increase your school fundraising income is to run an online school fundraising event such as a walkathon, danceathon or a spellathon. 

mycause can serve as your online school fundraising website, handling event registration, fundraising and merchandise. Multiple students can register and create an online fundraising campaign, which parents or students can share with friends and family to get sponsored and raise funds for their school. The donations made are receipted and then sent directly to your school.

Using online school fundraising means you can concentrate on organising a fun sponsorship event for students and their families, without having to worry about physically collecting funds. Participants can use email and social media to share their fundraising campaign to request sponsorship, rather than request assistance through paper forms and collection of cash.

Fundraising income can be increased by charging a registration fee while also asking participants to seek sponsorship. You can incentivise students to fundraise by offering prizes for those who raise the most on their fundraising campaign Fundraising teams can be organised by class or even by school houses.

Here are some examples of how schools have increased their fundraising income by adding mycause online school fundraising into their school fundraising mix. Our Lady of the Rosary school held a fun danceathon for their students and the 'Colour Run' event run by St Columba’s Primary was a great success.
