Virtual fundraising ideas
You and your colleagues can make a difference to disadvantaged children and young people by fundraising online
Take a look at our favourite virtual fundraising ideas below. Fundraising doesn’t just have to take place in-person. There are lots of ways you can raise vital funds virtually.
Lunch and learns, workplace trivia bingo, virtual cooking classes or even your very own movie night. We've pulled together some brilliant ideas to choose from.
Who drinks the most tea? Who loves Mariah Carey? Who never turns their camera on? Create some bingo cards with the names of your colleagues and fundraise with a game of Workplace Trivia Bingo.
Who doesn’t love to win a prize? Collect as many as you can and ask people to donate and enter your very own online auction, prize raffle or tip-top tombola. Winners can collect it next time they’re in the office.
You’ve all perfected your Zoom and Microsoft Teams skills by now, right? Why not roll out the popcorn, share your screen and host a movie night online with your colleagues. You could even have a discussion afterwards.
For you book worms out there, how about organising your very own book club? Invite people to virtually meet fortnightly and ask everyone to donate to the club’s JustGiving page at the end of every virtual meeting.
Make your online fundraising page stand out.
Do you have a favourite recipe you’d like to share? Set up a webcam in your kitchen, donate to attend and hold an online cooking class for your colleagues. There could even be a competition around who’s made the best version.
Got some thoughts you’d like to share about an interesting topic? Could you teach colleagues how to create your favourite craft, or how to master the perfect yoga pose? Ask for donations and enjoy your virtual lunchbreak together.
Working from home has allowed lots of us to get more active. Host an online yoga class, Zumba lesson or fitness session for you and your team. It's the perfect way to get fit and support Action for Children.
Not going into the office and saving on bus, train and petrol costs? Why not set up a JustGiving page for the office to donate their commute savings over the course of a week or a month?
Get everyone together for a virtual coffee morning and make a donation for your tea or coffee. You could even hold a small quiz, a prize raffle, or a bake sale for the morning sweet tooth moments.
