Tips for fundraising at work

A little planning goes a long way when it comes to workplace fundraising. These simple tips will help you get things off the ground and keep everything running smoothly.

  • Make sure you have your employer’s permission to raise funds. Some companies may even contribute towards your fundraising through a matched giving scheme. Why not speak to your boss and see if the company offers any additional incentives to boost your fundraising efforts?

  • Give yourself plenty of time to plan

  • Get other people involved – you don’t have to take it all on yourself; form a committee to get more ideas.

  • Encourage your employer to choose Erskine as your ‘Charity of the Year'

  • Use social media. Tag Erskine and we will spread the word of your fundraising.

  • Involve your clients/customers in your fundraising day by inviting them to join in on the fun.
