Christmas is the season of goodwill, making it the perfect time to launch a festive fundraiser.
People tend to give more generously in the run-up to the Christmas holidays. Harness the festive spirit to raise lots of money for great causes this Christmas – and don’t forget that your GoFundMe fundraiser is only a click away. Sit back and get inspired by our list of Christmas fundraising ideas.
Join in the spirt of giving by starting a fundraiser on GoFundMe. Then, use these ideas to help you reach your goal!
If you really care about your cause, you might consider asking family and friends to donate to your GoFundMe instead of buying you a Christmas gift. Your selflessness will be respected and should elicit an influx of funds, especially if you have a personal connection with your cause or have chosen one that’s at the forefront of people’s minds in winter, such as food or shelter. A popular example of this is starting a fundraiser for a charity using GoFundMe’s easy fundraising features.
If skiing is your thing, a skiathon is a great winter alternative to a marathon for fundraising ideas for Christmas. If you’re going on a skiing holiday, pledge to ski 40 kilometres for your chosen cause, in return for sponsors. Make it easy for people to donate by setting up a GoFundMe in advance of your skiathon and sharing the link far and wide. Not hitting the slopes? Turn ice hockey, snow-shoeing, dog sledding or really, anything into a fundraising event.
If you’re collecting toys or food for children in need, make people more likely to donate by hosting a collection party. Offer hot chocolate, butter tarts and some festive entertainment in return for guests bringing a new toy or box of food along. Maximise donations by setting up collection points around the local community, such as in schools, village halls and pubs. Not everybody has the time to go out and buy toys or food to donate. Set up a GoFundMe fundraiser so that people can donate money quickly and easily and you can buy the goods for them.
Perfect for the family. Go carol singing around the village and the donations are sure to flood in! Print out a QR code or link to your fundraiser as a way people can donate to the cause your fundraising for, and also print some spare song sheets so that passersby can join in.
