Over the past few weeks, we have been giving our teams and runners several fundraising tips to help raise money for their team fundraising page for their selected charities. We recently came across a good article from the UK discussing ways to fundraise using the London Marathon. While not all of those methods are relevant to the Delaware Charity Challenge, they are nonetheless useful and we commend them to you to consider as you are fundraising.
There are five simple ways that can help you (as an individual or as part of a team) using an individual or team fundraising page to raise money for a charity. First, ask. Second, use social media. Third, share information about the charity you are supporting. Fourth, explain the impact of the donation. Five, thank donors for their donation and support. More details about these tips are discussed below.
