Become a fundraiser

Make the world of difference by fundraising for Oxfam

 

Your support is essential. Without it, we would not be able to respond to emerging humanitarian crises or lift communities out of poverty. Simply put, your support is life changing.

 

There are so many unique and fun ways to fundraise for Oxfam Ireland: host a quiz with friends or family online, set up a virtual collection page to undertake a personal challenge or host an online event. Our supporters are finding new ways to fundraise during the pandemic all the time.

Step 1: Choose how you want to raise money

Sometimes the hardest part of organising a fundraiser is coming up with the fundraising idea itself. Just in case you need a bit of inspiration, we have put together some suggestions for types of activities and events you can do to raise money.

Step 2: Set up a fundraising page

One of the first things you will want to think about is how you are going to collect donations or sponsorship. Setting up a fundraising page is the quickest and easiest way to let friends, family and work colleagues know you are raising money.

Step 3: Promote your fundraiser

Remember to ask family, friends, your community and colleagues to get involved in your fundraiser too. We have put together some useful materials to help you promote and run your fundraiser.

Step 4: Pay in the money you have raised

The money you have raised will allow the most vulnerable to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. Now all that’s left for you to do is return the money you raised to Oxfam Ireland. Let one of our team members guide you through the process at irl-friends@oxfam.org.
