In sickness, no one should be alone!

Together we can do more - the fact that this is not just an empty slogan is evidenced by successive collections completed successfully. At Cancer Fighters we have already completed more than 300 of them. Internet collections are just one way to raise funds for treatment. Fundraising with a can in busy places and organizing local or nationwide events (charity concerts, boxing galas, dinners, family picnics, etc.) are also popular.

Creative charity collections are gaining publicity, as well as those promoted by public figures. How to make a collection for a charitable cause? Start by gathering people who will support you in this.

How to organize a charity collection - online and offline promotional campaign

Are you planning charity events? Ideas for collections are as important as their promotion. The standard practice was flyers handed out to passersby and posters displayed on poles in busy places. Such solutions are still practiced, but it is worth modernizing them a bit. When designing a poster or flyer for a collection, include on it not only the data of the collection, but also its QR code. Just scan it with your phone's camera to be redirected to the collection page. When potential donors are busy and don't have time to look for a collection online, a few clicks enable them to support the collection.

Creative charity collections are sure to pique the interest of the media. Send out emails to local and national media. You can ask public institutions in your locality, schools, government office, community centers to help publicize the collection. Paste a link to the collection or to the event page on your social media and encourage your relatives and friends to do the same.

How to encourage support for the collection?

To gain the trust and attention of potential donors, make your collection transparent. Clearly state its purpose, update the progress of the campaign and the treatment itself. Emphasize that every donation, even the smallest, is important. Inform how many people have already supported the campaign.

Successful charity fundraisers are usually those that allow various methods of contributing money. The success of the campaign can also be determined by attracting sponsorship - local and national media or businesses will attract new donors, as well as influence their motivation for action. In what way?

Recently, creative charity fundraisers have been springing up involving taking on a challenge, usually of a sporting nature. For example, a friend of an oncology patient plans to ride half of Poland on a bicycle or organizes a march for the local community. Fundraising during such campaigns involves not only donations by participants, but also getting financial support from the event sponsor in exchange for completing the challenge.

Helping through play

If you're wondering how to encourage support for a collection, think about what you can give in return to your potential donors. It's worth using a charity collection/event to spread health awareness.

All charitable actions, collection ideas and events help integrate the community and make us feel needed and have a real impact on the success of the initiative. Selfless help makes you feel better. It's also worthwhile to provide an extra dose of smiles and energy for your potential donors. Ensure their participation in charity events, which will be a great opportunity for them to have fun and relax.

Charity collection ideas - helping with a smile on your face!

You can have 20 ideas for collections, but none of them will be so well remembered by donors as actions with a joint game in the background. During them, the local community gets involved in helping the sick, and at the same time integrates, does something good for the environment, promotes their own services. Auctions of products of the local community, spending a day with a well-known person, souvenirs donated by athletes are just some of the ideas to kick off the collection.

What might be an example of a charity action?

• Family picnics, during which there will be raffles with prizes donated by sponsors. There will also be joint karaoke, concerts by local artists, exhibitions, team games, board games and quizzes.
• Creative eco-style charity collection is a used goods fair. Clothing, accessories, toys will get a second life. Money from admission tickets and purchases will contribute to the account of a person in need.
• What if you could impersonate someone else for a day? Ideas for charity collections could include bidding to spend a day at a new job and prove yourself as, for example, a baker, firefighter or even the mayor of a city.
• Theme parties. Ticketed fancy dress party with a contest for the best costume is an option for both children and adults.
• Selling your own ... knowledge. An ebook, a workshop, a workout, a dance or yoga course - such a fundraising idea is at the same time promoting your own business.

What are the ideas for charity events at school?

School fundraising can take many forms. The most popular charity, collection ideas include:

• Baked goods and handicraft fairs,
• team game tournament,
• Auctions of books, toys,
• ticketed performances and concerts prepared by children and teachers,
• A family day of games and performances for young and old, along with the collection of donations from event participants.

Creative charity collections at the school include auctions:

• Tutoring with a teacher/student,
• learning to play an instrument by a teacher/student,
• opportunities for the student to lead the lesson,
• individual training with a physical education teacher,
• conducting broadcasts on the school radio station.

Sometimes the simplest ideas for charity collections are the best. An example? Collecting small coins (1 penny, 5 pennies). Lacking the pressure of large donations, most students and teachers, regardless of financial ability, will certainly add their financial contribution to the collection.
