Christmas is coming and it’s a great time of year for fundraising while everyone is in the festive spirit. At this time of year, you can really get into that creative mindset and go all out with your fundraising efforts.
If you’re fundraising for a personal cause, for your business, a charity, or any other cause, we’ve got you covered with 12 great Christmas themed fundraising ideas. Whether you do them all for the 12 days of Christmas, or just choose one, you’re bound to have fun and gather some donations.
The Christmas tree is such a staple in homes and workplaces, so why not have a Christmas tree decorating competition? You could have your loved ones decorate their own tree and send you pictures and videos to enter the competition. Encourage them to share their pictures on social media with a link to your campaign to help with promotion.
Alternatively, if you’re at work you could have everyone decorate their own section of the work’s Christmas tree and judge which section is best. However you choose to run your competition, don’t forget to have a prize for the winner and charge a fee to take part.
If you’re looking for something cost-effective and fun to sell, you could try selling Christmas cards. Get those creative juices flowing to make beautiful cards to sell to loved ones, colleagues, or online. You could even make them personalized for an extra fee!
If you’re a bit stuck for inspiration, have a look online. There are lots of great places to buy card making craft supplies and examples of cards to guide you.
Why not add a Christmas theme to a traditional raffle? You can do the raffle online or in person depending on what suits you best. You could even ask local businesses to donate prizes for your cause.
If there’s a local Christmas fair, you could rent a stall and do your raffle there. You might catch the eye of people walking by who are already in the Christmas spirit.
Carol singing is such a traditional Christmas activity, so grab some friends or colleagues and get practising! Whether you’re a great singer or you’re just going to give it your best go, people will be happy to hear your group sing cheerful Christmas songs.
You could take a donation bucket with you or print out cards with your fundraising link on them and ask for donations. Don’t forget to dress up and have fun!
So much of Christmas is about the yummy food, so gather your loved ones or colleagues and challenge them to a festive bake off! You could set a theme, for example the best Christmas cookies, cake, or savoury dish. Charge a fee for entry and offer a prize for the winner. Best of all, you can all enjoy eating your creations when you’re finished.
A yard sale is always a great way to raise money while decluttering your house. You can even ask friends to donate items to the sale. All you need is some tables and your backyard, and you can get the funds rolling in.
Promote your event in advance so people know there are some bargains on offer and decorate in the Christmas theme. You could even dress up in a Christmas themed outfit.
A Christmas party is a fun way to socialize while gathering donations. It’s flexible, so it can be as big or small as you like and you can run it in person or over video call. Ask everyone to get dressed up in their festive best, provide refreshments, drinks, and music, and have a ball!
People love an opportunity to see Santa Claus at this time of year, so grab yourself a costume and get dressed up as Santa (or Santa’s helper). Even better if you can get friends involved as your elves.
You can ask local schools, care homes, kids groups, and even shopping centres if you can make an appearance. Take a donation bucket with you and you could even charge a fee for people to take pictures with you.
Lots of kids enjoy writing a letter to Santa, but imagine if they got a reply! Advertise your services and for a donation from a parent or caregiver, you (Santa) can reply to kids letters to really make their Christmas magical! Use some fun Christmas stationary and you could even include some glitter for added magic.
If you’re lucky enough to have a garden, get decorating and make it a magnificent Christmas display. You can leave a donation bucket out and a sign with information about your cause to encourage people to donate when it captures their eye. You could even leave out a stack of cards with your campaign link on them (in a waterproof cover to account for the winter weather).
Most people find wrapping gifts to be a time consuming task, so get busy and offer a gift wrapping service. You’ll be helping people out and raising money for your cause. You could charge a fee per gift, and if you have a lot of interest you could ask your loved ones to help you out.
There are so many types of Christmas jumpers on the market and some of them are simply hilarious. Set a day and ask friends or colleagues to wear the ugliest Christmas jumper they can find.
You could do this at work, in person with loved ones, or even on social media by asking people to send in pictures and videos of them wearing their jumpers. Encourage donations and of course, offer a prize for the winner.
Make the most of that Christmas cheer and you’ll soon see the donations flowing. Don’t forget to have fun along the way!
