Fundraising Tips
We understand that reaching out to ask people to donate isn't always a walk in the park. It’s why we’re sharing our top fundraising tips, so this can be a heartwarming and pawsitive experience for you and everyone involved! Don't forget - every donation supports you to help homeless pets find their new loving homes.
Pawsonlise Your Page
- Add a profile picture - selfie with your furry best friend is always a good idea!
- Share your reason for being involved - this adds a personal touch to your fundraising and inspires others to donate
- Plus, you'll earn a badge or two!
Get The Ball Rolling
Kickstart your fundraising journey by making a donation to your own fundraiser. This not only shows your dedication to the challenge but also sets the bar higher for future donations. People who make even a small donation themselves are able to raise a lot more in the long run. And that’s good news for homeless pets who are counting on you!
Say It Loud & Proud
It's time to make some noise—bark, meow, tweet, squeak or neigh—to let your friends, family, colleagues, sports team, and everyone you know hear about your exciting Best Friends Walk challenge. Share the news on all your favourite platforms—Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, X, Threads! Send emails and texts, or have in-person chats if possible. Remind people that they can support you by donating to your fundraising page—a friendly nudge can work wonders (and a nose boop from your best friend wouldn’t go astray, either!).
