Each month, Founder and Director of Commando Spirit, Sally-Anne Hunter who has helped charities to raise over £20M, gives one of her fundraising tips. This month it is about how to raise money at your work place.
"Some companies operate a matched giving scheme and will match what you raise for charity. Some may let you write to their clients/suppliers, or put an article in a newsletter/on their website asking for donations. You may be able to use company facilities to organise a fundraising event. And some companies may give a straight donation.
Several of our participants have doubled what they raised just by asking the question of their employer "do you have a match giving scheme?"
You won’t know until you ask. So what are you waiting for?"
