Our biggest bit of advice about fundraising is to make sure the people who are sponsoring you or contributing to your fund are aware of what they’re contributing to. It’s important to talk to your sponsors about what the expedition involves, why you want to do it and how you think it will change your life for the better. If they know this, they’re much more likely to sponsor you as they know how much it will mean to you.

If you take this little nugget of fundraising advice on board it will completely shape your fundraising experience. Explaining your goals and your motivation to your friends, family and sponsors will be a constant reminder to you about why you want to go on your expedition. It will also make sponsors more likely to be generous as they begin to understand what a difference they could make to your life. If you show enthusiasm for your cause people might even offer you some of their own fundraising advice which will undoubtedly help you on your road to fundraising success

Another great piece of advice for fundraising is to think very broadly about who might be interested in sponsoring you. As well as friends and family local and national businesses will often provide sponsorship to people as a good will gesture to the community. Businesses like to be seen to be doing good things for people, so if you get sponsorship from them offer them a bit of free publicity on your sponsorship forms or at your charity auction in return.

The best fundraisers recognise that they are getting something for nothing so it’s important to thank people for their kindness in any way you can!
