How do I promote my fundraising?

Ask for support via email or SMS, share your fundraising page on social media, or pop a poster up in your workplace or community club (you’ll find these online here). If you’re fundraising in your workplace, ask if you can advertise on your internal communications channels or add to your email signature.

How do I ask people for donations?

add remove

The number one reason why people donate to charities is because they were asked – so don’t be afraid of asking! Tell your supporters why the cause is important to you and remind them that every dollar counts – every dollar will go towards cancer research and creating a brighter, cancer free future for all Australians (find out more here). Many workplaces also offer dollar matching, so it’s worth asking your boss if this is something they will do.
