Make a Plan of Action
Whether your fundraiser is big or small, you’ll need to put some thought into planning – from who’s coming to an event, to where you’ll host it. How long it will last or what you want to achieve. When you have decided the event you are planning, you'll need to confirm the date and start to make make a list of things you need to organise. Maybe start with a target amount you'd like to achieve.
To help you, get friends or family to help. If you’ve got questions or need support with your fundraiser, email us at contact@cure4dm.org. We want to help you every step of the way.

2. Create a Donation
Page
Set up a Donation page or contact us as we may be able to set up a page through our Cure4DM website, this will make it easier for your friends, family and supporters to sponsor you
3. Tell us about your
Fundraiser
Do let us know about your fundraiser, we could help you with publicity on our Facebook Page and maybe also be able to help with some promotion items or prizes.
4. Now Tell Everyone
about your Fundraiser
As soon as possible, get the word out. Use social media to spread the word by creating an event on Facebook or sending some tweets. Link your posts to 'Just Giving' or whatever Fundraising platform you have set up. If you are collecting donations yourself, let them know how to contact you to do this (do not give your personal bank details over social media though). Speak to your boss at work and let all your colleagues know what you are doing, as well as your friends and family, ask them to share the details. Your boss may be happy to allow you to put up posters at work or even 'match your fundraising' (see Corporate Partnership)
