Fundraising Event Ideas

Are you looking for fundraising event ideas?

Special days and holidays give all sorts of opportunities for a great fundraiser.

They provide inspiration for fantastic charity event ideas and convenient hooks around which you can raise money for the causes close to your heart.

With a bit of work well known special days such as Easter, Valentines, Halloween can become great money-makers for your organisation.

But do not overlook either some of the other quirky little days of the year.

• Shrove Tuesday (pancake day) - Cries out to have an after school pancake race.

• Shakespeare's Birthday April 23rd - What a great day for a Book Fair.

• Boxing Day 26th December - Time for a sponsored dip in the sea!

The year is full of these sorts of days.

Is your school, church, hospice or local hospital named after a saint?

And you're not using that saint's day for a fundraiser? What's wrong with you?

The calendar is stuffed full of great excuses to put on an entirely new event or add a twist to something you are already doing. Pretty much any day can be turned into a brilliant event if you use a bit of imagination.

Still can't find a date for an idea that works for you?

Invent one of your own. What about:
