How do I fundraise?
Food for Thought: We’ve all given to charity. Some of us have even been sponsored to climb a mountain or run a marathon and then donated the proceeds. And that’s where it ends. Not any more. The Great Generation allows you to take your fundraising to the next level. Now you can get sponsored to take part in a race or run an event and then take your contribution to the grassroots of local communities, becoming actively involved in its use. The Great Generation is unique in providing you with the opportunity to see your donation in action and remain connected to that donation over the long term.
Fundraising needn't be arduous: we encourage you to be as creative as you want. Once you register, we will send you fundraising ideas in your Great Generation Volunteer Pack. In the meantime, here are just a few suggestions:
