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.

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.
