How to fundraise for a charity

There are many ways that you can fundraise for a charity and show your support for a charity cause. You may like to create a campaign, join an official event or even create one of your own!

The top 5 ways on how to fundraise for a charity are:

• Create a charity crowdfunding campaign

• Join a charity event

• Host your own event

• Pledge your birthday and other important dates

• Do something offline and donate to a charity appeal

Create a charity crowdfunding campaign 

Anyone can create a crowdfunding campaign for charity on mycause. If you are competing in a run, setting yourself an exercise challenge or simply want to do some good, then you can support the charity by raising funds. Charity crowdfunding campaigns can collect funds for a maximum of two charities, with the funds split in half. When creating your charity campaign you are able to select from over 2000 of our charity partners or nominate other charities as your beneficiaries. 

Join a charity event

You can also raise funds for your charity by participating in their annual charity events. This may be a run, bike ride or even a gala ball with all registration and ticketing funds going towards the charity’s work. If you join a charity even then you can promote the charity on your social media accounts during the event, with a call out asking your friends and family to support your cause. 

Host your own event and ask people to donate 

If you aren’t interested in joining a mass participation event, then why not create a niche event for your friends instead? Have a night in, host a party or have a bake sale with funds going directly to your charities of choice. People can donate as the ‘entry fee’ for your party or to pay for some lovely baked goods. 

Pledge your birthday

Through mycause you can also pledge your birthday to charity. Rather than getting pairs of socks you don’t need, you can ask your loved ones to support your favourite charity instead. Once you register with mycause, you are able to customise your pledge birthday campaign, choose your charity and send out your birthday invitations! This is a great way to help other people and use your birthday to benefit people in your community. 

Ultimately, the way you choose to raise funds for your favourite Australian charities is limited only by your imagination. Join an event, launch one of your own, or pledge your birthday to support a charity cause. 

Do something offline and donate to a charity appeal

Great for community events like a bake sale, auctioning off items for charity or a hard cash collections at your local sporting event.

Ultimately, the way you choose to raise funds for your favourite charities is limited only by your imagination. Join an event, create one of your own, or pledge your birthday to support a charity through mycause.
