Charity Fundraising Ideas For Businesses

by johnmce

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become increasingly
important in recent years. Supporting a charity and participating
in fundraising activities can be beneficial for business and is a
means of demonstrating corporate social responsibility. 
Participating in fundraising activities is also a way to develop
team building skills and can help to create positive PR for your
company.

There are many fundraising opportunities and ideas, here are
just a few.

Organising a sporting event, such as a 5 a side football
tournament or a tennis tournament, is a great way of fundraising.
Money can be raised by asking each team to pay an entry fee and
asking spectators to pay to watch the matches. All contributions
can be donated to your chosen charity and the winning team could
win a prize paid for by the company.

Participating in a challenge event is another great way of
raising money as they can attract a great deal of press
attention. You could cycle from London to Paris, trek up
Kilimanjaro or do a skydive.

Another idea is to arrange a themed night or event, and charge
an entrance fee. This could be anything from a wine tasting
night, a summer BBQ or a charity ball. Any profits made can be
donated to a charity. You could even involve sponsors to provide
food and drink for the event.

Holding an Auction of Promises is a fun and informal way of
raising money. Promises could be anything from music lessons, to
help in the garden, or a stay in your holiday cottage. Make the
auction an event in itself with food and drink and invite
employees, family and friends to take part.

You could even arrange a pool or darts tournament in your local
pub.  Social events that incorporate fundraising are popular and
are a good way of getting to know your colleagues.  Money can be
raised by asking every contestant to pay an entry fee.

If you need help with your fundraising, why not contact a local
charity; they often send out packs, information and promotional
items. They also may be able to advise you of ways to fundraise
at work that you may not have thought of.

Once you have decided on your activity or event, a good way of
raising awareness in your area is by contacting your local radio
station or newspaper. They may be willing to promote your
fundraising event by mentioning it on air or featuring it in the
local events section of their paper.
